The Appeal

With its boxy styling, generous proportions and impressive interior trim, it's already clear that the R107 is up there with the most instantly recognisable cars of the 70s and 80s. Luxurious yet capable of impressive cruising speeds, these cars gained a reputation for top-notch build quality, too. The result is one of the most prized and enduring classic cars on the market.
This particular 560SL, carrying a 5.6L V8 powerplant, is finished in its original paintcode C040 Black paintwork, with its original Palomino  leather interior. Equipped with both a renewed soft top and a hard top, this Mercedes-Benz classic is loaded with originality, and is supplied with a clean CARFAX report for peace of mind.
