1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Coupe/Roadster

1987 MERCEDES-BENZ 560SL COUPE/ROADSTER #WDBBA48D1HA052200. (Stock #4200.) Mercedes-Benz has created some beautiful 2-seater, hardtop and soft top convertibles over the years, starting in 1955 with  a 4-cylinder “190SL” and a fuel-injected 6-cylinder “300SL.” Both cars were beautiful and have stood he test of time, both appreciating wildly in value since their era which ended for both in 1963, From 1964 through 1971, Mercedes-Benz built a 6-cylinder SL, also with both tops and also a beautiful car which has appreciated  substantially in value. In 1972, Mercedes-Benz offered another absolutely beautiful SL, this one powered by a 4.5 litre, fuel-injected engine, and one so attractive that the body style remained basically unchanged  until 1989. The  last version, built from 1986 through 1989, was powered by a twin timing chain, fuel-injected , 5.6 litre V-8 engine and  was beautiful, fast and luxurious. It, too, has started its upward climb in value and its attraction seems t be growing each year, Our car, absolutely gorgeous in Signal Red (body and hard top) with excellent original black leather interior and convertible top, has been a local car since new, with its second local (Martinsville) owner purchasing it in 2003, then with 77,000 miles. He has driven the car very sparingly as a week-end escape car and  it remains in beautiful condition throughout. Driven just 12,000 miles in the 19 years of his ownership, the car is splendid both cosmetically and mechanically and will be receiving its 90,000 major tune-up/service prior to leaving for its new home. The car is completely original throughout with the exception of the original radio being upgraded to an AM-FM/CD “Pioneer” stereo system. 89,823 miles. $32,500.
