1988 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

  Representing one of the finest grand touring convertibles of the era, this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL stands as a benchmark-quality example of the flagship R107 series. With just 19,868 miles from new, this highly preserved SL presents as a true time capsule—retaining exceptional originality, outstanding mechanical condition, and the unmistakable craftsmanship that defined Mercedes-Benz during its golden years. Long regarded as one of the most refined and durable luxury roadsters ever produced, the 560SL has become increasingly sought after for its blend of performance, elegance, and timeless design.

  Finished in the sophisticated Smoke Silver Metallic (702) over Cream Beige leather (275), this SL showcases a beautifully preserved, factory-correct color combination that highlights the car’s understated yet luxurious presence. Power comes from Mercedes-Benz’s robust 5.6-liter V8 engine, paired to a smooth four-speed automatic transmission, delivering effortless performance and touring comfort. As the final and most developed iteration of the R107 lineage, the 560SL benefited from improved power, refined suspension tuning, and modernized features, making it the most desirable of the series. 

  This exceptional original example is equipped with desirable factory amenities including air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. It also features both the body-color hardtop and convertible soft top, enhancing versatility and year-round usability. The outstanding original interior, exterior, and mechanical components remain remarkably preserved, further underscoring this car’s status as an investment-grade, preservation-level 560SL.

  Well-kept, low-mile R107s have become increasingly scarce, and examples of this quality rarely surface. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking an outstanding, original, and meticulously maintained 560SL, this Smoke Silver time capsule represents one of the finest available.
