Since Mercedes-Benz produced their first car for public sale in 1901, a legacy has followed them for setting the standard in luxury and going above and beyond the competition. Mercedes-Benz hasn't looked back and has taken pride in that public image they've built and have gone on to produce key marque automobiles time after time. Mercedes-Benz launched their flagship 560SL at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1985 and the public was pleased with the showing. It was sold alongside the 500SL with minor external changes, improved front wheel suspension, new brakes, and a new 5.6-litre V-8 engine. The new 560SL was Mercedes-Benz's most powerful SL produced at the time and helped them push past the competition.

Streaming from that same legacy is this 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. The current owner acquired this marvelous roadster in July of 2022. The previous owner held on to this example for three and a half years, adding a reported 2,000 miles during that time. Today, the odometer reads 35,646, which are believed to be actual, although the title shows exempt. The exterior is presented in its original color of Pastel Beige (684) and features chrome accented bumpers, fog lights, a power antenna, a color-matched removable hardtop and folding tan soft top.

The 5.6-litre V-8 engine and four-speed automatic transmission are both in well-working order, making it a great contender to be an enjoyable weekend cruiser. This Mercedes-Benz comes equipped with many creature comforts like power brakes, power steering, air-conditioning, power windows, cruise control, and a Becker Grand Prix cassette radio. The interior's Cream Beige leather seats, door panels, and carpet are in terrific condition, having been replaced in 2014 by a Mercedes-Benz dealership.

Accompanying the sale of this 560SL is its original window sticker, original data plate, various owner's manuals, a handful of service records from 2014, a toolkit and jack, Mercedes-Benz first aid kit, and the aforementioned clean CARFAX® report. As one of the world's oldest car companies, the Mercedes-Benz star has been around for over 100 years. This sporting 560SL epitomizes the very essence of the modern road car with power, speed, and luxury all combined in the same package.
