An exceptional example of the revered R107 chassis, this
late-production 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is presented in an
exceptionally rare and striking color combination: rich Charcoal
Grey over a Blue Leather interior, complemented by a matching Blue
Dark Soft Top (Hartz cloth). Showing just 61,000 original miles,
this two-owner roadster captures the peak of 1980s German luxury
engineering in breathtaking condition.

4-speed automatic transmission.
• Condition - Immaculate overall vehicle condition; impeccably
maintained and preserved.
• History - Pure two-owner ownership history. Always stored in a
climate-controlled environment.

service manuals, and complete dealer maintenance records.
• Service - Maintained exclusively at authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealerships throughout its lifetime.
• Features - Factory hardtop, matching blue Hartz soft top, power

As the flagship of the R107 generation, the 1988 560SL offers the
highest displacement, refined rear suspension ergonomics, and
modern safety features (including ABS and driver airbag) that make
it the definitive year to own. The distinct Charcoal Grey over Blue
specification elevates this example far above typical red and
silver models, offering a understated, sophisticated aesthetic for
the true collector.
With full paper trail provenance and meticulous dealer servicing,
this turnkey 560SL needs nothing but a new garage. Perfect for
weekend rallies, high-end concours shows, or investment
preservation. We strongly recommend, welcome and encourage personal
or professional inspections of any vehicle in our inventory prior
to purchase. A $339 Documentary Fee will be added to each vehicle
