The Appeal
Only offered in the USA, Australia and Japan, the 560SL came with the largest engine that Mercedes-Benz ever fitted to an R107. That burly 5.6-litre V8 offered smooth and powerful cruising ability to complement the car’s elegant lines.
Here we have an attractive example, finished in a fine colour, and presented ready for its new owner to enjoy. If you’re in the market for a refined, commanding and suave modern classic, then the R107 is surely on your shortlist – and the 560SL is the mightiest of them all.
