A well-preserved 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL hardtop convertible will be offered without reserve at Compass Auctions, providing collectors with an opportunity to own a piece of German luxury automotive history.
This blue 560 SL, powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, shows 63,950 miles on the odometer. Known for its blend of performance and timeless design, the 560 SL was the pinnacle of the Mercedes-Benz R107 series, offering a balance of sportiness and long-distance comfort.
Although the vehicle runs and drives, it is not currently roadworthy due to brake issues and the absence of a battery. As a result, Compass Auctions recommends that the winning bidder arrange for towing upon purchase. The convertible features a vinyl interior with manual seats, power windows, power locks, and a combination of manual and power mirrors.
The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL has long been a favorite among collectors due to its reliability, build quality, and unmistakable styling. As a flagship roadster of its era, it continues to be highly sought after in today’s classic car market.
Given that the vehicle is being sold from an estate and offered without reserve, bidders will have a unique chance to secure this classic at market value. Interested buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle before placing bids to assess its condition and restoration potential.
With its reputation as one of the most desirable grand touring roadsters of the 1980s, this 560 SL is expected to generate strong interest at the upcoming auction.
