This Mercedes-Benz R107 SL got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL is said to have a registration history with two owners, and it shows 27k miles. The car is finished in Arctic White over Royal Blue leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a limited-slip differential, a dark blue soft top, a removable hardtop, silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, fog lights, a Becker Grand Prix cassette stereo, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, and automatic climate control. Service performed in preparation for the sale by Wolfgang’s of Tenafly, New Jersey, included an inspection along with replacing a steering shock, the fuel filter, the exhaust hangers, and the transmission and engine mounts. This R107 is now offered on dealer consignment with the owner’s manual, service records, an inspection report, a clean Carfax report, and a New Jersey title.
