1988 Mercedes-Benz 560SL R107 For Sale in Brisbane
$129,990 Excl. Govt. Charges | 84,577 km | Signal Red | Automatic | Eagle Farm, Brisbane QLD
The Mercedes-Benz 560SL (R107) was the final and largest-engined version of the 107-series SL roadster, built from September 1985 to August 1989 as an export model for North America, Japan and Australia.
This 1988 example is Australian-delivered with two owners from new, finished in Signal Red and showing 84,577 kilometres. It is a 5.5-litre V8 automatic, and it is for sale at Torr Automotive in Eagle Farm, Brisbane.
What engine is in the Mercedes-Benz 560SL?
The M 117 E 56 (117.967) is a 5547 cc 90-degree V8 with a light-alloy block and one overhead camshaft per cylinder bank, driven by a double roller chain. Fuel is metered by Bosch KE-Jetronic manifold injection, with a closed-loop three-way catalyst handling emissions and a compression ratio of 9.0 to 1.
Output is 170 kW (228 bhp) at 4750 rpm and torque is 373 Nm at 3250 rpm. Drive goes to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic with a hydraulic torque converter and a central floor gear shift lever.
What is the 560SL like inside?
Two seats and one convertible body. The gear lever sits on the floor, the steering is recirculating-ball power assistance, and the brakes are a vacuum-boosted dual-circuit hydraulic system with antilock control and ventilated discs at the front.
How many Mercedes-Benz 560SLs were built?
Mercedes-Benz lists total production at 49,347. Production ran to August 1989, when the 129-series SL took over, so the 560SL marks the end of a roadster line that began in 1971.
The model was built for three markets only, which is why Australian-delivered cars with local history stand apart from imports when they come up. This one sits among the classic cars for sale Brisbane buyers can view at our Eagle Farm yard.
