Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatLate-model 560 SLs are among the most popular versions of the R107, as they feature the highly refined technology of the facelifted model and are equipped with a V8 engine that rivals the 500 SL in terms of performance. The 560 SL offered here already features the important and expensive EU-compliant bumpers and headlights, and it also comes in the attractive color combination of black with a beige interior. An SL for connoisseurs!

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Der 107 Roadster wurde im Laufe der Jahre stark überarbeitet. Genauso wie die Antriebe der damaligen S-Klassen unterlag der R 107 ebenfalls einem stetigen Wandel, um sich an die wechselnden Umweltauflagen anzupassen. Dabei veränderten sich auch die Leistung und der Hubraum mehrfach. Im Jahr 1985 wurde der Mercedes-Benz R 107 als zweisitziger Roadster, der wahlweise mit Notsitzen im hinteren Bereich ausgestattet werden konnte, wohl am umfangreichsten überarbeitet. So konnten die Fahrzeuge fortan auf Wunsch mit einem Katalysator an die Kunden ausgeliefert werden. Serienmäßig ging der Katalysator dann 1986 in Produktion und ab dem Jahr 1989 war dieses Bauteil ausdrücklich vorgeschrieben. Ab 1989 konnten die Modellversionen ohne Katalysator demnach nicht mehr ausgeliefert werden. Diese Fahrzeugmodelle waren ab 1987 als RÜF-Version bekannt, da es sich um sogenannte Rückrüstungsfahrzeuge handelte, deren Katalysator im Notfall ausgebaut werden konnte. Der Mercedes-Benz R 107 wurde bis 1989 in Sindelfingen produziert, der Nachfolger wurde ab 1989 in Bremen gefertigt. LG Tom
