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

This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL was first registered in Illinois and spent time in Florida before being recently acquired by the selling dealer showing 13k miles. It is finished in Light Ivory over Palomino leather upholstery and is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Features include a limited-slip differential, a dark brown soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, silver-finished 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels, fog lights, a Pioneer CD stereo, electric windows, central locking, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This R107 560SL is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, a hardtop stand, a car cover, spare keys, a tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
