A gem for the foreign market – now it's returning home! The Mercedes-Benz Roadster of the R107 series, introduced in 1971, became the most produced SL of all time, with over 237,000 units sold, and the longest-produced Mercedes-Benz passenger car series, lasting 18 years. The 560 SL (1985–1989) was designed as an export model for the American, Australian, and Japanese markets and was never officially offered in Europe. The 5.6-liter eight-cylinder engine (M 117) was derived from the 5.0-liter V8 by extending its stroke and produces 170 kW (231 hp). Only the best "Made in Germany" was available for the States – the US versions of the 560 were delivered from the factory with almost full equipment. The only optional extra available was heated seats.
This vehicle is a classic car that is many years old, with some noticeable signs of use and wear. In addition, more or less professional restoration, conversion, and paintwork may have been carried out, and a number of cosmetic and technical defects may be present.
