This 1987 Mercedes-Benz 560SL was originally leased by Andy Trotter Mercedes-Benz of Chattanooga, Tennessee and subsequently purchased out of lease by the lessee in 1995. The current owner and seller bought the SL in 2013 with 65k on the odometer from the first owner in Atlanta, Georgia and has added 6k miles since purchasing. The car is finished in Nautical Blue Metallic (929) over a Gray Leather (278) interior and powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Maintenance has been performed by Blue Ridge MB outside of Atlanta and has received a complete tune up under the current owners care including plugs, accumulators, filters, and fluids. Features include a removable paint-matched original hardtop, an upgraded head unit and the original Becker head unit, air conditioning with automatic climate control, a navy blue soft top, and custom blue and gray Cocomats. This example is now offered by the current owner in Atlanta, Georgia with 71,303 miles on the odometer, service records, a fresh inspection, factory literature, an original tool kit, first aid kit, one key, both top keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Georgia title. 

The body is finished in Nautical Blue Metallic (929) and features original body panels accented by a gray pinstripe. Exterior features include a retractable navy soft top, chrome mirror caps, North American-spec headlamps and bumpers, and front fog lamps. The original paint-matched hardtop is included and features original glass with rear defrost. All glass is original and the windshield has Llumar Air 80 film for heat reduction. The exterior shows straight body panels and the paint shows signs of fading around the car. Rock chips are visible on the nose and paint chips along the edges of the doors. Areas around the top anchor hole show blemishes as well. The factory brightwork shines nicely and doesn’t show pitting. The original dealer badge from the selling dealer can be seen on the decklid. Detailed photos of the exterior can be seen in the gallery.
