Over those eighteen years, the R107 evolved from a sporty roadster to an icon, with a timeless design that still impresses today. From 1986 onwards, the 560 SL was the flagship model of the range and was built exclusively for a select number of markets. Under the hood lies the largest engine ever fitted to an R107: a 5.6-liter V8 with fuel injection, paired with an automatic transmission. This combination delivers exactly what this SL is known for: majestic and effortless propulsion where the eight-cylinder never needs to be urged. This 1988 560 SL comes equipped with air conditioning and cruise control, making it perfectly suited for long-distance travel as well. The bumpers have been converted to EU specifications, giving the silhouette a significantly sleeker appearance compared to the original version. Red Mercedes-Benz 560 SL with new soft top for sale The red paint suits this SL particularly well and is beautifully interrupted by the golden stripes running along the sides, a detail that magnificently accentuates the elongated line from the nose to the tailgate. The chrome finishes, wide side trim stripes, and classic alloy wheels complete the look. A new soft top was installed in 2025, ensuring that the car looks just as well-kept when closed in black as it does when the top is down. Inside, the beige leather cabin dominates, featuring distinctive striped seats, complemented by wood accents on the dashboard and center console, and with power windows for convenience. The warm beige contrasting with the bright red is one of the most beloved combinations on this SL and gives the car a sunny and relaxed appearance. Top down, V8 warming up, and the road ahead: this is the 560 SL at its best.
