Our Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, put into circulation on January 1, 1987, has now totalled 97,000 miles. Imported from Florida in March 2018, it changed owners in October 2022.
Presented in the Signal Red color (code 71-89) combined with a beige interior, this 560 SL offers an elegant configuration that is faithful to the original spirit. The body has been completely redone and is in excellent condition, as is the cabin, with no significant defects. The on-board instrumentation works perfectly, with the exception of cruise control, a common feature on this model.
Under the hood, the 5.6-liter V8 delivers all its softness and flexibility, combined with the original automatic transmission. The mechanics are in perfect working order and no costs are to be expected.
Maintenance has been rigorously monitored since the beginning, especially in the United States and then in France, where the car has benefited from numerous restoration works carried out by the current owner, a mechanic by profession.

The MERCEDES-BENZ S-Class W126 generation, specifically the 560 SEL variant, holds a significant place in automotive history. Launched in 1986, this flagship model was produced until 1991 and exemplified the peak of luxury and innovation from Mercedes-Benz during that era. As a part of the second generation of the W126 lineup, the 560 SEL was designed to emphasize both performance and comfort, with a robust 5.6-liter V8 engine that delivered 300 hp, offering an impressive balance between power and refinement.
The W126 series was pioneering in safety features, introducing innovations such as airbags and automatic seatbelt pre-tensioners, which set new standards for the industry. As a symbol of German engineering excellence, the 560 SEL competed fiercely against rivals like the BMW 7 Series and the Jaguar XJ.
In pop culture, the W126 S-Class frequently made appearances in films and TV shows, including the iconic series "Miami Vice" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Die Hard", where its luxurious silhouette served as an emblem of power and status. Its presence in these media underscored a certain aura of sophistication and authority.
Aside from its cinematic roles, the model was favored by influential figures during its production years, further solidifying its image as a vehicle of choice for dignitaries and celebrities. The late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and actor Robert Redford were among those who reportedly appreciated this classic for its blend of luxury and performance.
Critics of the time praised the W126 for its flawless build quality and revered it as a "benchmark in luxury sedans." Ads of the era often highlighted its cutting-edge technology and opulent comfort, capitalizing on its status as a symbol of success.
With a timeless design and enduring excellence, the 560 SEL remains a coveted classic among car enthusiasts.
