Time-Capsule 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL

Reimel Motor Cars is proud to offer this exceptional 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL represents the pinnacle of the renowned R107 generation, boasting incredibly low mileage (just 50,000 miles) and a highly documented two-family ownership history. Acquired by the current owner’s relative directly from the original owner in 2012, this example has been treated with the utmost care. It is finished in its gorgeous, factory-original Signal Red (568) paint—verified by consistent paint meter readings—and comes complete with a color-matched removable hardtop and a black convertible soft top. It rides on original 15″ Gullideckel alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Premier tires.

Inside, the cabin is remarkably preserved. It features immaculate Beige leather bucket seats, an uncracked dashboard, and flawless wood trim. Factory equipment remains highly functional, including the automatic climate control (recently overhauled in 2025 with a new A/C compressor and mono valve repair kit), the original Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo, cruise control, central locking, and power windows.

Power is delivered effortlessly by the legendary 5.5-liter V8 engine (factory rated at 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque) paired with a smooth four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. This 560SL is completely dialed in mechanically; a major front-end suspension refresh was completed at 44,000 miles, the power steering pump was recently resealed, and it comes with a comprehensive binder of service records covering the past two decades. Sold complete with its original tool roll, hardtop tools, and original keys, this turn-key classic is the perfect addition for the discerning collector.
