Description

The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL (R107) is widely regarded as one of the most desirable, collectible and value-stable Mercedes-Benz classic cars ever built. As the flagship model of the legendary R107 SL series, the 560 SL was produced exclusively for the North American, Japanese and Australian markets and was never officially sold in Europe. Today, original examples with documented ownership history, European conversion and German registration are exceptionally rare and highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.

On behalf of our client, we are delighted to present this outstanding 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL Roadster, finished in the elegant and rare Pearl Grey Metallic exterior with a beautifully preserved Champignon leather interior. This timeless colour combination perfectly complements the iconic design of one of the most legendary Mercedes-Benz convertibles ever produced.

Florida History – Excellent Body Condition

Until its import to Germany in 2013, this Mercedes-Benz 560 SL spent most of its life in the sunny US state of Florida. Thanks to the region's warm and dry climate, the body has remained in remarkably well-preserved condition.

Following its import, the vehicle was professionally converted to European specifications and successfully registered in Germany.

A paint thickness inspection dated 17 June 2026 confirmed the outstanding condition of the bodywork, recording an average paint thickness of approximately 100 microns, indicating a highly original and authentic vehicle.

Legendary 5.5-Litre Mercedes-Benz V8

Under the bonnet is the legendary 5.5-litre naturally aspirated Mercedes-Benz V8 engine, producing 230 hp and 373 Nm of torque. Combined with the smooth automatic transmission, the 560 SL delivers effortless acceleration, exceptional cruising comfort and the unmistakable sound that has made the Mercedes-Benz V8 famous around the world.

Whether driven on scenic country roads or enjoyed as a weekend cruiser, the Mercedes-Benz R107 continues to impress with its reliability, refinement and timeless driving experience.

Carefully Maintained

This Mercedes-Benz classic has been meticulously maintained throughout its life.

Recent maintenance includes:

  • New battery (2025)
  • New rear brake calipers (2023)
  • New windscreen wiper blades (2022)
  • As-new dark blue fabric soft top

The interior features elegant Champignon leather, presenting in excellent condition and showcasing the craftsmanship and build quality for which Mercedes-Benz became internationally renowned during the 1980s.

Verified Vehicle History

A comprehensive Carfax Report confirms that no accidents or damage have been reported, providing additional confidence in the vehicle's documented and transparent history.
