By the late 1980s, the SL had gotten various updates and new engines over the years, yet it was still fundamentally the same car Mercedes-Benz had introduced back in 1972. Despite its age, the final iteration - the 560 SL - remained a prized automotive status symbol and an iconic part of the brand's lineup, until it was finally replaced by the all-new fourth-generation SL in 1990.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This spectacular and highly original Mercedes-Benz 560 SL was completed and the Stuttgart-based works in August of 1986 as a US-market car. The car was delivered new to New Jersey in October of 1986, where it appears to have remained until recently, in the care of just one single owner. Today, this stunning 560 SL, dressed exceptionally well in its original Dark Blue paint over a nearly flawless original leather interior, presents almost identically to the day it was delivered new. Inside, the stunning dark wood-trimmed console and grey leather impresses, while a period Becker cassette radio adorns the dashboard.
The SL still displays many original factory markings and tags, and is accompanied by both hard and soft tops, the original books and manuals, tool roll, jack, as well as spare wheel with original decal. The car has been driven sparingly and displays a total of just 32,438 miles on the odometer at the time of cataloging and is documented by a clean CARFAX report. A superb example of a Mercedes-Benz 'Young-Timer' Classic, this quality-build SL is ready for open-top touring and enjoyment.
