1986 Mercedes-Benz
560 SL Convertible

One family from new, 24,066 original miles, and the rare white-on-black combination. Almost every one of these left the factory white on tan. Both tops included, and the hard top comes with its stand and hoist.

Vehicle Overview

The Photographs

Fifteen frames here, including the odometer. The full set of over two hundred high-resolution photographs is in the album linked in the panel to the right.

Worth Knowing

The colour combination is the thing here. These were built white on tan almost without exception; white over black is the one people go looking for and rarely find.

Both tops come with the car. The hard top is described as like new and includes the stand and hoist, which is the part that usually goes missing.

The original radio is included alongside the new Kenwood head unit, so the car can be put back to standard.
