The Mercedes-Benz R107 is widely regarded as one of the marque's most enduring and recognizable grand touring roadsters, celebrated for its timeless design, exceptional build quality, and legendary reliability. Finished in Metallic Silver over a Navy Blue leather interior, this 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL has traveled just 137,258 miles, averaging approximately 3,519 miles per year throughout its 39-year life.
This 560SL presents as a well-maintained, mechanically sound example that has benefited from extensive recent servicing and refurbishment while retaining its original character. The engine starts immediately, idles smoothly, delivers strong acceleration throughout the RPM range, and maintains proper operating temperature. Compression is reported to be within specification on all eight cylinders, with no vacuum leaks or visible oil leaks observed during inspection.
Recent mechanical work includes brand new fuel pumps, engine temperature sensor, distributor and spark plug wires, accessory belts, A/C compressor belts, a new AGM battery, and recent engine oil, filter, and transmission service. The cooling system has been extensively refurbished with new cooling system sensors, electrical components, and a new secondary cooling fan, contributing to reliable operating temperatures.
The air conditioning system has also undergone substantial refurbishment, including new system components, electrical components, a new control module, and a new control unit, and is reported to be operating properly.
On the road, the vehicle demonstrates confident braking, predictable steering response, and excellent highway stability with no steering vibration during acceleration or braking. Tires retain approximately 90% tread, and the matching spare tire is included. A wheel alignment is recommended to further optimize handling and tire wear.
The interior remains exceptionally well preserved for its age. The Navy Blue leather upholstery, dashboard, and original wood trim all present beautifully, with no cracks, fading, or missing wood sections. Minor wear is present on the driver's outer seat bolster, consistent with normal use for a vehicle of this age.
The exterior paint presents very well with only a few minor cosmetic imperfections, including a small chip on the right rear quarter panel. The body and undercarriage are rust-free, and the exceptionally clean underside strongly suggests long-term indoor storage for much of the vehicle's life. A brand-new convertible soft top has recently been installed, and the original removable factory hardtop is included.
Additional upgrades include LED interior lighting, under-dash illumination, front and rear turn signals, brake lights, license plate lights, and fog lights, while the original halogen headlights have been retained.
This 560SL is offered with a clean title and a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report. No accidents are reported on CARFAX or other major vehicle history databases, and the vehicle shows no visible evidence of prior collision repairs during inspection.
Combining desirable factory colors, extensive recent mechanical investment, a clean vehicle history, rust-free body and undercarriage, and overall condition that is well above average for a 39-year-old Mercedes-Benz, this 560SL represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of Mercedes-Benz's most respected and collectible classic roadsters.
