Mercedes-Benz 560 SL 1988
Specifications
Description
CAR DESCRIPTION
The legendary 560SL earned its unique niche in the motoring world by blending two rich automotive themes: the lure of a lithe and eager top down sporting machine and the reassurance of a strong, secure, supremely livable Mercedes Benz.
Related to the 300SL, the famous Gullwing racer, which in its day was the fastest production car ever, the 560SL goes a step further. It is a more mature and sophisticated automobile.
First introduced in 1971 the 107-series became one of Mercedes-Benz's most successful and enduring models with a production life of almost two decades and approximately 300000 examples sold. Although upgraded mechanically and given larger engines over the years the well-proportioned styling remained largely unchanged as right from the start it was and is timeless and elegant.
The 560 SL comes with a unique style that can't be found in new cars. It came out with the biggest engine available - a grunty V8, that delivered 0-60 miles in 7sec with a top speed of about 130mph.

Waimak Classic Cars Ltd is a New Zealand registered company and accepts that the vehicle being sold must be of “acceptable quality” in terms of section 7 of the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (the Act) having regard to “the nature of the goods”.
Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
