The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class R107 was built from 1971 to 1989.
The 560SL, the most traded version: The R107 560SL represents the pinnacle of Mercedes' longest-running SL generation, combining effortless American-market appeal with Germanic engineering excellence. Introduced for 1986, the 560SL's 5.6-liter V8 delivered 227 horsepower through a smooth four-speed automatic, making it the most powerful SL of its era. Bruno Sacco's timeless design aged gracefully over the R107's remarkable 18-year production run, with the 560SL featuring subtle updates like revised bumpers and improved climate control. Only sold in North America, these final R107s are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate their robust build quality and analog driving experience. The removable hardtop and soft-top versatility, combined with Mercedes' legendary over-engineering, created a grand tourer that's both usable and collectible. Clean, low-mileage examples with maintenance records are commanding premium prices as enthusiasts recognize the 560SL as the last of the truly analog luxury roadsters.
