I remember the days when you could buy a vintage Mercedes-Benz 190SL for pennies on the dollar. Sure, they weren’t the fastest thing from Stuttgart, but one quick glance and you might mistake one for its larger sibling, the 300SL. But between the original Gullwing and it’s open roofed stable mate and the Pagoda SL that followed, the 190SL was a bit forgotten. Today, however, it’s almost impossible to get into a 190SL on a budget, with the best examples bringing healthy six figure sums at auction. Fast forward a few more years though, and its descendant, the 560SL, can still be a relatively affordable proposition. This white on blue R107 for sale in Florida has just the right look to blend right in at the local yacht club.

The 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560SL we featured last week did not sell, but the seller has since discounted the price by $4,000. If the SL roadsters that preceded it are any guide, we might be looking at a point where you can get in an R107 at close to the ground floor.

2 CommentsSince it’s Christmas Day, let’s pose the obvious question: what would Santa Claus drive? I tend to think he would be someone that enjoys a more relaxed cruising style but still appreciates good craftsmanship. Given that, what could be more appropriate than a Signal Red Mercedes-Benz 560SL? This particular R107 for sale in Texas has covered 60k miles, which splits the difference nicely between low mileage museum queen and high mileage basket case.
