AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN RISALTO:
• Original and elegant color combination: light blue bodywork paired with gray interiors
• Equipped with a 5.6-liter V8 engine
• Significant recent mechanical maintenance on the engine
• Supplied with both a soft blue/azure fabric soft top and original rigid hard-top
HISTORY/PANORAMA:
The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the evolutionary peak of the famous R107 series, produced by the Stuttgart company between 1985 and 1989 exclusively for overseas markets (USA, Japan and Australia). This 1985 example stands out for the fascinating color pairing between the light blue bodywork and the gray-toned cabin. The car remains in generally good and original condition.
BODY/PAINT:
The bodywork features the classic light blue paint. From visual and analytical checks the shell appears well preserved; the car is equipped with its blue/azure fabric soft top, as well as being supplied with the rigid hard-top mounted on a dedicated supporting trolley (noting the absence of the rear glass window).
INTERIORS:
The cabin preserves the original gray leather upholstery in good condition. The moldings and burl wood details on the dashboard and central tunnel show a slight, physiological fading caused by sun exposure. The car is equipped with the original steering wheel with airbag, integrated first aid kit, and instruments specific to the American market.
MECHANICS:
Under the hood sits the 5.6-liter Mercedes-Benz V8 paired with an automatic transmission. The mechanics benefited from a major maintenance intervention carried out just 200 km ago, including replacement of the valve guide bushings and timing chain guides. The engine bay is complete in all its elements and accessories.
DOCUMENTS:
Information missing or insufficient in the text or in the seller's photos.
The car is available for viewing and collection at the seller's premises. It is advisable to view the vehicle before submitting an offer. Costs related to the transfer of ownership, registration, export documentation, and transport remain the buyer's responsibility.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
