The Appeal

For many, the R107 SL is the ultimate classic convertible - and it isn't hard to see why.
Any marriage of superb engineering and beautiful styling is sure to be a fruitful one, and the R107 was a case in point.

We're delighted to offer the ultimate version - a 560 SL from 1986. Supplied new to the USA, where these 5.6-litre cars were said to have been nicknamed "the German Corvette", thus SL has recently returned to Europe having been imported with all taxes paid. The car comes with a clean CARFAX report, USA Title, and EU import documentation, so now it's up to the new keeper to register and inspect the car in their country of choice. As the Mercedes-Benz Datacard shows, this car comes with a whole host of factory options such as automatic climate control and a Becker Mexico Grand Prix stereo.

If you've always promised yourself a classic SL, this one has everything going for it.
