This 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL (R107) is an Australian-delivered, two-owner example with long-term current ownership, finished in Blue over a beige leather interior. It is powered by a 5.6-litre V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, and the odometer displays 171,569 kilometres.

The R107-series SL remains one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring and recognisable roadsters, produced from 1971 to 1989 and celebrated for its robust engineering and timeless design. The 560SL, introduced in the later years of production, represented the flagship variant with increased displacement and torque, combining effortless performance with grand touring refinement.

This example has had one previous owner prior to the current custodian and has reportedly remained in long-term ownership for decades. It presents as a well-kept and largely original car.

Servicing has been carried out by Gullwing Motors, with the most recent service completed approximately six months ago. This was a comprehensive major service, which included the timing chain replacement and fitment of new tyres. All servicing receipts are documented. The vehicle retains its original books, and a factory-style CD stacker has been discreetly installed in the boot. Mechanically, the seller reports the car to be in strong health, with no known faults, warning lights, or issues requiring attention at this time.

Externally, the paintwork is described as original and the car presents well for its age. Brightwork, trim and factory wheels appear consistent with an unmodified example.

Inside, the beige leather interior presents in good condition for its age. Seats, carpets, timber trim and switchgear are all reported to function correctly. A timber steering column has been sourced to match the dashboard finish.

The vehicle remains otherwise original, with no accident history or resprays reported.

Included in the sale are spare keys and the original books.
