The black factory soft top is in good condition and both door mirrors include heated glass with the passenger side being power adjustable. The seller notes a minor on his Canadian Carfax in 2004 on the front left corner. Detailed photos of the SL are included in the gallery with the seller pointing out minor rock chips and superficial scratches in the paint. 

The car wears 15” Gullideckel alloy wheels wrapped in a set of Pirelli P4 all-season tires measuring 205/65 at all four corners. Braking is handled by disc brakes behind each wheel and a full-size spare is included in the trunk. Original painted center caps are installed on each wheel and all the lug bolts show no corrosion. The painted Gullideckel wheels appear in excellent condition. 

The cabin is finished in Medium Red Leather (271) lining the center armrest and door panels while Burl Walnut wood trim adorns the center console and dashboard. The leather shows well with no major defects noted other than some light wear on the driver side bolster. Features include automatic climate control, power windows, cruise control and an outside temperature indicator mounted in the dash. The factory air conditioning operates as intended with infrared temperature readings in the gallery out of all vents and all comfort features are reported to function. Detailed photos of the cabin and trunk are included in the gallery. A factory tool kit is included. The clock is reported to not be functional. A period-correct Vector radar detector is installed in the cabin. An A/C recharge was performed a few months ago with R12 refrigerant. The ashtray was also adjusted for better ease of opening.

Other gauges include a tachometer, fuel level indicator, fuel economy indicator, oil pressure, coolant temperature and an analogue clock. Below sit a row of warning lights alongside the controls for the resettable trip odometer. The seller notes the clock to be inoperable. A new horn ring was installed in 2022. 

This 560SL is powered by a 5.5-liter M117 V8 which produced 227 horsepower and 279 lb-ft of torque when new. The selling party notes that some records are included in the sale showing various services over the past two years of ownership including engine oil/filter service, new battery, alternator, water pump, and lower radiator hose.
