The third generation SL (R107) was launched in 1971, initially with just a 3.5-litre engine (350SL) mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The car featured a two-door monocoque bodyshell with independent suspension and disc brakes all-round. Over its phenomenal 18-year reign, the R107 range was powered by eight different engines - two sizes of straight-six and six versions of Mercedes-Benz's silky smooth V8. The V8-powered 560SL was manufactured from 1986 to 1989 and only offered in the US, Japanese and Australian markets. With 227bhp on tap it was a genuine 130mph car, with ample reserves of effortless acceleration.

A 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, this is a third generation R107 with an automatic transmission. Built for export to the USA, the car has been repatriated to European shores and is now fully UK registered. Displaying 144,000 miles on the odometer the ‘C631 XRT’ is offered with the factory hardtop. Tan leather upholstery complements the interior well and there is a Blaupunkt Miami Beach CD/radio fitted in the dashboard. Externally, the US specification includes the boot mounted high level brake light and the usual SL front fog lights, mounted more centrally under the bumper. An MOT runs into June 2023. The vendor says it starts, runs and drives. Accompanying this V8 version of the SL, is the bookpack, stamped service book and two keys.
