This lovely looking Signal Red 560SL has lived the last decade in Northern California. A clean Carfax documents fastidious service and multiple mileage entries showing a clean history. Carfax available for review.
The paint shows excellent shine with good depth and luster. All chrome, rubber and trim look great and show minimal wear. The body panels are straight and even and all vin tags are original and untouched.
A beautiful rich black contrasting leather interior has excellent preservation and originality. The original black leather seats are in superb condition having been covered for many years by grey sheep skin covers that were recently removed and saved (inside the trunk). All leather is soft to touch with perfect patina. The original black carpet shows wonderful condition and the door cards also look great with lovely wood trim added for an extra touch. The dashpad has a black cover over the top and it blends just like the original The wood trim center consul shows deep color and zero sun fade. The instrument cluster still shows a well preserved brighter orange color highlight indicative of minimal sun exposure.
The black soft top is a german canvas material and appears to be a newer replacement. The original matching hard top comes with the car and shows in very nice condition.
Engine bay and trunk are extremely tidy.
Mechanically this example is very dialed and it accelerates, brakes, shifts just as Mercedes intended. We were overly impressed with the ride quality and driving experience it delivers. The AC blows cold and still operates on the original R12 equipment. A few of the more recent services include: Radiator replacement, oil service, radiator hoses, drive belts replaced and antifreeze / coolant flushed changed. The correctly sized tires are Michelins riding on the original stock alloy wheels.
Partial books / manuals, original key fob master, spare tire, jack and tool roll.
