1989 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series Base Convertible 2-Door Description

1989 Mercedes Benz 560SL
One owner vehicle with 14,869 miles from new.
Garage kept and never driven in in-climate weather.
Pristine all original condition.
The last of the R107 roadsters in collector quality condition and in the most desirable color combination.
The Holy Grail !!!
You will be extremely hard pressed to find a nicer and more desirable W107 roadster.
Vehicle was originally leased in June of 1989 from Benzel Busch Motorcars in Engelwood NJ and accrued less than 5k miles of usage by the owner during that lease which ended in July 1993.
The car was then subsequently purchased by the original person who leased the vehicle and was garage kept and meticulously maintained as a weekend only fair weather use vehicle.
Original black (Code 040) paint has a show quality shine and is well complimented by bright and clear chrome trim all around. All factory applied VIN tags are present on each panel.
OEM 15" wheel are original and not refinished and are in near flawless condition all around. The vehicle still wears its original Pirelli P6 tires from new.
The interior of this vehicle is 100% original and has not had any restoration work.
Palomino leather interior is simply the nicest I have ever seen !
Original owner of the vehicle had sheepskin seat covers installed at the date of delivery and they were NEVER removed until now.
The leather looks and feels absolutely brand new !!!
Burl wood inlays have a deep and mirror like gloss and dashpad is flawless.
Gauge needles are a deep orange just like they were in 1989.
The interior looks exactly like it did on the showroom floor in 1989.
Both hard top and soft top are in near flawless condition.
The undercarriage of this vehicle looks like it was restored, but it is 100% original !
Please look at all photos of the interior, undercarriage and engine bay.
The owner NEVER drove this vehicle on wet pavement.
The engine bay is equally as pristine and ready for show.
To appreciate this 560SL is to drive it !!!
Owner of the vehicle let the car sit for a few years with very little usage and a mechanical refreshing was just performed to get it back in top condition.
Recent service in January included:
Flushed gas tank and radiator.
New fuel filter and Bosch fuel pumps.
New Bosch battery.
New Nippon Denso AC compressor, evaporator and drier.
New distributor and rotor.
All new belts.
All new plugs
All new OEM fuel injectors
Oil change, transmission service and coolant flush.
Needless to say the vehicle runs and drives like a low mileage Mercedes Benz should !!!
Ice cold AC, and Becker radio sounds great !!!
Two red dot keys, all manuals and books in order including original lease agreement and window sticker from the original owner.
Pirelli P6 spare tire was never down, tools in the plastic bag and first aid kit are all in order.
This is a blue chip investment grade example of the last and the best of the W107.
