Strong points
- Numerous jobs carried out
- Imported from the USA with all taxes and duties paid
- Powerful 5.6L V8 with automatic transmission
- Great colour combination
The Plus
With the largest engine ever installed in the famous R107, it's no wonder the 560SL has been a hit in the US. With its distinctive squared-off styling and elegant wood interior, the American R107s had the elegance of the Old Continent combined with the power of an American muscle car. Naturally, it was a resounding success.
This example comes to us in excellent condition, with an attractive Signal Red colour, original wheels and a beige leather interior. During the last year of ownership, the vendor carried out extensive work, creating a stylish, attractive and easy-to-drive retro classic.
