Rare 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL Emerges After Decade-Long Slumber

A pristine 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, hidden away in the original owner’s garage since 2010, has finally surfaced for auction. The car sat untouched for over ten years before being discovered in 2020, and its condition is as remarkable as its backstory. This R107-generation roadster represents the final year of the iconic SL series, a model that has become a collector’s favorite.

The seller, a Mercedes-Benz technician with three decades of experience, has owned and worked on 25 examples of the R107 SL—and he considers this one exceptional. His professional insight adds a layer of confidence for any potential buyer, as he can attest to the car’s integrity and rarity. With its timeless lines and robust engineering, this 560SL is a true survivor, ready to return to the open road.
