  • Offered for sale is this stunning example of the very collectible R107 Roadster from Mercedes-Benz, a (final year of production) 1989 560SL in beautiful Tuxedo Black over Dove Gray leather. This all Southern car has been beautifully maintained, and runs and drives exceptionally well. The factory VIN stickers are all in place, the paint is excellent and original, and the leather and wood are in very good condition. It includes the hard top, all books and tools. Amenities include power windows, power central locking, Factory hard and soft tops, driver side air bag, original Becker radio that has been factory refurbished and enhanced with an auxiliary input, chrome factory rims with Michelin tires, Mercedes-Benz accessory seatbelt guides and floor mats, leather steering wheel, and more. This car has seen much recent service, and is entirely free from corrosion on top and underneath. Inside and out, this is a remarkably honest car with original paint, original soft top, and loving ownership. Do not miss this one!

    For my money, Bill is one of the most under rated RUclips personalities. Quirky vitriol at its finest! :D

    I just love the US version of the SL. I love the large bumpers and round headlights. Looks way more interesting than the Euro version.

      Agreed. Mine has euro headlights and big american bumpers. I'm either/or on the lights, but I prefer the big bumpers.

    • @solice8844

      Amen. I love the larger bumpers because they give the car more classy distinction from its tiny Euro counterpart. The small Euro version looks like a cheap Mustang.

      Have no problem with the bumpers. Round lights look better

    The bumpers after model year 1983 were slightly shorter. I love the big bumpers.

    Love it, the R107 was designed as US-spec, it looks fabulous, the four headlamps really suit it. The Euro R107 with those rectangular headlights look gawky.

    My only complaint re: the 560SL is the trunk brake light. It really disrupts the lines of the car.

    My baby is named Helga because she's German. I waited 45 years to get a 25-year-old car. Now she's 30 and in mint condition, about 120,000 miles, black with camel interior, and envied everywhere she goes.

    Bruno didn't draw that car. He drew the R129

    • @edwardkantowicz4707
      @edwardkantowicz4707 3 года назад

      Correct, R107 designed by Friedrich Geiger & Joseph Gallitzendörfer C.1968. Though the aforementioned blokes are given credit for the C107 as well (on the web) it was actually a young Karl Wilfert who is credited by Daimler as the one responsible for the coupés deveopment, based on the R107 body style.

    I was expecting you to throw that moth down and take out your Uzi and anialate it for daring to touch the Mercedes.
    It is beautiful in black.
