Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Two tops, Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires, power windows, air conditioning, Becker Grand Prix radio.

Condition

Very good original paint and interior. Good chrome. Reasonably tidy engine bay. One owner from new, very low miles, 20,722 on the odometer represented as original. A well-kept original car that seems a lot younger than 25 years old. Documented with the original window sticker and factory books in their original sleeve.

Market commentary

This is a huge increment for this 560SL's originality, low miles and single ownership from new. This price could have bought the best restored 560SL in the world, and reflects the sometimes irrational premiums paid for the preservation mystique. It will not be worth this much for a long time to come.
