A well-preserved Mercedes-Benz 560SL in the R107 body was photographed in Kyiv. The red roadster features an AMG body kit and retains the classic style of Mercedes-Benz models from the 1980s. The car is one of the most famous versions of the SL series, which remained the brand’s flagship convertible for a long time. The photos were published on the Instagram account @t.o.p.c.a.r.s_u.a.
Mercedes-Benz 560SL became one of the most successful SL models
The 560SL version was equipped with a 5.6-liter petrol V8 from the M117 series. This engine made the model one of the most powerful in the R107 lineup for the American market.
The R107 body was produced from 1971 to 1989. This was a record production period for Mercedes-Benz among its passenger car models. Over nearly 18 years, the company sold approximately 237,000 units of the SL series.
