Description
For us, the Mercedes R107 type 560 SL remains an all-rounder. With its 5. 6-litre eight-cylinder engine, it’s not only a very powerful engine that makes overtaking incredibly easy, it’s also an extremely smooth engine that by today’s standards does not fall short in any way. On the contrary: it’s a terribly beautiful engine with a wonderful sound. A 560 SL was therefore the best that Mercedes could offer at the time, and we notice that in every aspect. A 560 SL presents itself as a true all-rounder and is therefore extremely suitable for covering long distances entirely in style.
This magnificent 560 SL exudes elegance in its Light Ivory, combined with a beautiful dark brown leather interior. The powerful 5. 6-litre V8 engine, specially designed for the American market, delivers no less than 227 hp and 287 Nm of torque at 3, 500 revolutions per minute. As we said, this car is not only a feast for the eyes but also a powerful driving machine.
This is a 560 SL, as we would prefer to see them more often. This SL comes to us from the first owner with only 36, 000 miles on the clock, which corresponds to just under 60, 000 kilometres. The car is therefore in absolute mint condition and of very high quality. Both the exterior and interior are in truly fantastic condition. The bumpers and headlights are according to European specifications.
Both the exterior, interior, and the mechanical workings of the car show that the one and only owner took very good care of this Mercedes-Benz. The car has retained its original paint, and the quality of the bodywork is excellent. With very nice fitting panels, mouldings that are in good condition, and windows in mint condition, all adds up to a beautiful sight. In short, a specimen at Mercedes-Benz level. In the interior, we find an alluring and timeless interior. The dark brown interior is exquisite, not just in terms of colour but also in terms of condition! Every detail is correct, including the original Becker Grand Prix radio present. Also, all original booklets are present, such as the instruction manual and stamped service booklet.
The mechanical condition of this R107 is as impressive as its appearance. The V8 engine runs smoothly and powerfully, while the automatic transmission shifts effortlessly. Maintenance has always been meticulously carried out by specialists, resulting in a car that is not only stunning to look at, but also performs excellently on the road. With 36, 000 miles, this 560 SL drives excellently and feels very solid.
