1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL is a used car showing 180,549 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Signal Red with an Alpaca Grey interior.

Sold new in New Jersey, this is the North American export version of the last R107 series, and it remains in its original specification. Most of its Signal Red paint is still the coat applied at the factory, and the panel gaps are even all round.

The Alpaca Grey leather has been well kept, the seats remain firm, and the owner's booklets are still in their plastic wallet. As the title of the listing points out, a Becker Grand Prix radio is fitted. Gallery Aaldering presents it as an honest, tidy car that feels solid and composed on the road.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 560 SL uses the 5,547 cc M117 V8 with Bosch KE-Jetronic injection and a 9.0:1 compression ratio, rated at 230 PS (170 kW), quoted as 227 hp at 5,200 rpm and 389 Nm in North America, with a four-speed automatic driving the rear wheels. It adds an anti-squat rear suspension to the R107's semi-trailing arms. The roadster measures 4,580 mm in its North American form, bumpers included.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 560 SL in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz priced above or below the European market?

At €43,500, it sits below the median of €155,000 for the 345 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 8% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 560 SL cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €41,398 in the United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at €43,500, 5% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1986 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

180,549 km recorded, against a median of 14,618 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz are priced closest to this one?

a 1994 car in the Netherlands at €43,500, and a 2022 car in Germany at €43,613. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 560 SL, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 560 SL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.

Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
