The Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster (formerly known as the SL Roadster prior to 1994) is a grand touring roadster manufactured by Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German Sportlich-Leicht, (Sport Lightweight) and was first applied to the 300 SL. The 560 SL was only sold in the USA, Canada, Japan, and Australia to compensate the reduced output of the 5.0-litres due to the stricter emission laws in these markets. All updated 86–89 models have the advantages of the more modern 4 pot brakes, larger discs, and suspension derived from the W124 sedan. The body itself is built with a modern paint system designed to improve protection from rust.
Finished in beautiful Cabernet red metallic (code 587) the exterior finish appears to be original and shows well with only minor imperfections and slight fading visible upon close inspection. The Cabernet red hard top has a an excellent fit and finish. Front bumper has a good fit, with slight finish issue on the drivers side, the rear bumper has a excellent fit and finish that shows well. The dark tobacco soft top (code 746) fits tight with no fading or scratching in the back window that we could find.

The U.S. spec headlights and taillights are in very condition with no hazing or cracks. The 15 inch original equipment wheels show well with no damage or curb rash.
