1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL – 20,000 Miles – Same Owner Over 30 Years
This exceptional 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is a remarkably low-mileage example of the iconic R107 roadster, showing just 20,000 miles from new. The car was purchased by the current owner in 1992 and has remained under the same ownership for over three decades, a testament to its careful stewardship and preservation.
Finished in classic Arctic White (147) over blue leather upholstery (272), the car is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a smooth four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential, delivering the refined performance for which the 560SL is known.
The exterior is highlighted by a dark blue (744) convertible soft top and a body-color removable hardtop, both included in the sale. Additional exterior features include quad headlights, fog lights, a power antenna, and chrome-accented bumpers and trim. The car rides on silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels wrapped in 205/65 Michelin Primacy MXV 4 tires with 2010 date codes.
Factory equipment includes power steering, a fully independent suspension, and power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. Inside, the well-preserved cabin features blue leather bucket seats, a matching center console and door panels, and a full suite of luxury amenities including an alarm system, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames classic VDO instrumentation, including a 170-mph speedometer, 7,000-rpm tachometer, clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 20,000 miles, approximately 13,000 of which were added during current ownership.
This 560SL is offered with the owner’s manual, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Wisconsin title in the seller’s name. With its ultra-low mileage, long-term ownership history, and desirable color combination, this is a standout example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring and collectible roadsters.
