This Mercedes-Benz R107 SL got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL was purchased by the current owner in July 2011 who has since added approximately 7k of the 50k miles shown. The car is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over Brazil leather and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a body-color removable hardtop, a dark brown soft top, painted 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, fog lights, automatic climate control, cruise control, a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM/cassette stereo, and an alarm system. This R107 is now offered on dealer consignment in Illinois with service records, a clean Carfax report and a clean Indiana title in the owner’s name.
