Description
Starting in 1986, Mercedes upped its SL's power level with a 5.6-liter V8 pushing 227 horsepower. It isn't a mind-altering number by today's standards, but it was a luxury two-seater with a top speed of 140 mph — plenty for a top-down roadster.
This 1988 560SL is a trip back in time to a world-class experience. With only 88,000 miles on the odometer, this SL is in a class of its own, showing in excellent condition from headlight to taillight. It appears to have lived a pampered life driven on weekends or special occasions, and obviously garage-kept. The leather seats, dash, and wood trim have no cracks or excessive wear often found in other examples that spent more time in the sun. Everything works as expected, including the convertible top.
