Principal Facts:
1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL (R107)
Blue Green Metallic (877) (often known as Petrol Blue Metallic) with Palamino Leather (274) and Dark Blue Fabric Soft Top (5010)
93,252 miles
The 5.6 litre V8 engine was the largest engine offered during R107 production, developed primarily for the American market. The increased displacement allowed Mercedes-Benz to maintain the performance benchmarks set by the 500SL; even when complying with the stringent emissions regulations set by the state of California. It was never offered for sale in European markets.
Always a popular model for import, this 560SL has been with SLSHOP for some time. Many of our staff are very fond of this car, and it has enjoyed a number of long-distance trips as an occasional member of our press fleet.
Imported from California in 2015, this car came from the land of sunshine. The original keeper of this car lived not far from Redondo Beach, a stones throw from Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles. Can it get more ‘560SL’ than that?
It was this very 560SL that undertook the impressive journey to Norway, documented in Mercedes enthusiast magazine.
Blue Green Metallic (often known as Petrol Blue) is a rare R107 colour, perfectly complimented by the Palamino leather interior. This car was retrimmed by SLSHOP before it went into active service, true to the factory correct finish and to the highest standard. Inside the car still smells new… Palamino is an option synonymous with the high specification export cars, a real treat for the R107 enthusiast.
In October 2019 this car underwent full preparation for sale, including a full service. At this point the gearbox was serviced and it was fitted with a new air conditioning belt as well as an alternator belt.
During it’s time with SLSHOP this car has proven to be faultlessly reliable, functioning equally well whether it’s on tracking duty during filming videos or posing for photo shoots.
Accompanying this car is an array of paperwork from it’s time in the USA, as well as the original owners manual, maintenance booklet and factory correct radio and soft top guides.
A delightfully attractive car with a very capable 5.6 litre V8 engine.
Now ready for a new owner to add their own miles and memories.

I have followed SLSHOP with interest for some years now and recently took the plunge and purchased my dream car – they did not disappoint!
The whole experience from start to finish was superb. Their communication was excellent and they kept me
informed every step of the way. Thank you and I look forward to my next purchase!

I have just purchased a 280SL from SLSHOP. I have already purchased several parts from SLSHOP and have found all members of staff most helpful and it is more like dealing with a club than a commercial enterprise I would highly recommend using SLSHOP for cars, parts and most importantly impartial advice.

They put up with my indecision, inexperience and last minute demands and my car is the best thing I’ve ever bought. The most impressive thing about them is the after care though. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they’ve given me the best advice to make sure I get the most out of my car. Can you tell I’m obsessed with them all?
