The Appeal

The 560 was the ultimate R107 SL. Dubbed "the German Corvette" in some circles, it featured the largest engine ever fitted to the model which made it especially popular in the United States where the V8 reigns supreme.

Here we have one such US market example which boasts an enviable specification. As the factory Datacard shows, this SL was highly specified and it was also equipped with several other desirable features ex works.

It comes with a USA Title and European import documentation, with all duties and VAT already paid, making it easier for European buyers. The aforementioned options include automatic climate control and heated, electrically adjustable mirrors. Additionally, we're assured that the car is matching numbers, something enthusiasts of the marque will surely value greatly.
