Mercedes-Benz 560 SL (1988) – Petrol Blue with cream beige leather – exceptionally original
A particularly beautiful 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL in a rare and highly stylish colour combination: Petrol Blue metallic with a beige leather interior. The 560 SL was the absolute top model of the R107 series and was supplied primarily to the North American market at the time. This example has been preserved in an exceptionally original condition.
This car belongs to the final production years of the iconic R107 and therefore benefits from all the major technical improvements Mercedes-Benz introduced from 1986 onwards, including the revised chassis and fully galvanised bodywork. This makes this late 560 SL not only more comfortable and modern in its driving characteristics, but also better protected against corrosion.
The paintwork is in exceptionally beautiful condition and has a deep, rich gloss. The beige leather interior has been beautifully preserved, remains supple and shows only minimal signs of use. Particularly noteworthy is the dashboard, which is completely free of cracks or discolouration – a rarity on American-specification cars. The carpets, including the boot, are also in excellent condition.
The powerful 5.6-litre V8 runs silky smooth and delivers its power effortlessly. The four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and imperceptibly. Everything indicates that this car has covered only 78,000 miles. There is also extensive documentation supporting this mileage history.
The car was imported from the United States to the Netherlands in 2024. In 2025, it was fully inspected by a classic car specialist, during which maintenance was carried out, the air conditioning was serviced and four new Michelin tyres were fitted. At the beginning of August 2026, the car received a new MOT.
The car is also complete with:
Technical specifications
The final and most refined R107
The Mercedes-Benz R107 is one of the most iconic roadsters Mercedes-Benz has ever built. With a production period of no less than eighteen years, the model developed into a classic with an unrivalled reputation for quality, comfort and durability.
Where the series began with the 350 SL, equipped with a 3.5-litre V8, it ended with the impressive 560 SL. The final production years, including 1988 and 1989, benefit from all the technical developments Mercedes-Benz introduced throughout the production period. As a result, these cars combine the timeless lines of the original 1971 design with considerably more modern driving characteristics.
This 560 SL is a stylish and comfortable grand tourer that effortlessly covers long distances, while also making an excellent value-retaining classic for the enthusiast or collector.
