{"product_id":"1988-mercedes-560-sl","title":"1988 Mercedes 560 SL","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClean Carfax with no accidents reported, this R107 560 SL is finished in Brown Metallic over a Beige leather interior. British Columbia registration history spans nearly three decades, with documented emissions inspections from 1994 through 1999 confirming consistent, measured use throughout that period. The R107 SL represented Mercedes-Benz's longest-running sports car platform, produced from 1971 through 1989 across an eighteen-year production span. The 560 SL arrived in 1986 as the range-topping variant for the North American market, equipped with the M117 5.6-liter V8 producing 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque. This engine, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, delivered the smoothest and most powerful configuration available in the R107 lineup. The 560 SL designation indicated the flagship position within the series, offering increased displacement and refined power delivery compared to the 380 SL and 420 SL variants available in other markets. Production of the R107 concluded in 1989, making this 1988 example among the final years of a celebrated lineage. The Brown Metallic finish presents over factory 15-inch Gullideckel wheels fitted with Mercedes-Benz three-pointed star center caps. The exterior retains the classic R107 styling elements including the chrome grille with three-pointed star emblem and traditional hood ornament. As standard equipment for the roadster configuration, this example includes both the fabric soft top for open-air driving and the removable hardtop for year-round versatility. The Beige leather interior features comfort seats with perforated leather inserts designed to provide ventilation during warmer driving conditions. Convenience equipment includes heated seats for cold-weather comfort and a Becker Grand Prix audio system, the period-correct premium head unit offered by Mercedes-Benz. The dashboard includes a black-faced rev counter positioned prominently in the instrument cluster, and the steering wheel is wrapped in leather. Beige carpet floor mats complement the cabin specification. The combination of flagship 5.6-liter power, documented Canadian provenance, and clean accident-free history presents a well-preserved example of Mercedes-Benz's iconic roadster platform.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercedes-Benz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51632293806391,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/7274\/5015\/files\/1986MercedesBenz560sl-0001.jpg?v=1769645085","url":"https:\/\/silverarrowcars.com\/products\/1988-mercedes-560-sl","provider":"Silver Arrow Cars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
