The Mercedes-Benz coded “R107” and commercially named “SL” has the difficult task of replacing the well-known “Pagoda”. It is released in 1971 and will be produced until 1989. Its stretched line allows it to succeed in this mission by combining the aesthetic standards of the time with what made the success of the previous version. As a result, more voluminous engines will take place under this majestic hood. The 280 SL and 300 SL versions will be equipped with an in-line 6-cylinder engine. The 350 SL, 380 SL, 420 SL, 450 SL and 500 SL models will be fitted with a V8 engine, with a displacement corresponding to the overall name. We mention here the convertible versions, but their equivalent in coupé existed for each version, their acronym became “SLC”.
This car is offered with French registration and technical control.
The most powerful SL version of its time with the 5.6 liter V8. Specific to the American market. We present once again a very beautiful Mercedes 560 SL with a magnificent color code: red with a beige leatherette interior. Small peculiarity, its previous owner equipped it with European optics in the front.
The car has just undergone a standard exchange of its gearbox, the rear axle has just been rebuilt (invoices are available). let’s just say that these last 2 operations had an exorbitant cost which values this Mercedes for its future history.
The engine runs very well and the gearbox is very smooth. The car has been serviced and its technical control is available. The interior is in perfect condition as well as the hard top which is provided. The paint is perfect, the rear trunk has been repainted, there are still some small impacts on the hood cover where the hard top comes to land.
