The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class legacy began in 1954, with the gorgeous 300SL Gullwing. Its breathtaking lines and exciting performance made it a real treat to behold. Mercedes-Benz followed up in 1963 with the W113, also known as the Pagoda due to its roof shape in hardtop form. This particular 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a convertible, however it does come with a nice little surprise too. It’s also a Euro-Spec version that was repainted around a decade ago. With about 60,000 miles to its name, this car is a great German classic for you to pick up and turn heads wherever you choose to take it. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t like a classic Mercedes-Benz? It’s the epitome of taste, after all.
This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL shows off its Friedrich Geiger and Paul Bracq-penned lines in a nice white coat. The car is said to be all original style, right down to its steel wheels with white Mercedes-Benz Star-toting center caps. We’re told that the navy blue canvas convertible top is new, and with it down you’ll enjoy a truly amazing open-air driving experience. As for the nice little surprise that we mentioned? It’s a removable hardtop that was optional at the time! Yes, you can get the Pagoda look as well as the best weatherproofing possible when the seasons turn for the colder and wetter. The interior of this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes in black and is a three-seater. How, you ask? Let us explain.

The car’s interior includes a redone wooden dashboard, and is said to be new, from around ten years ago.

We've come a very long way since the 1960s, and so has the Mercedes Benz SL lineup. The modern Mercedes SL has air-conditioned seats, radar-guided cruise control, and a top speed of a couple of hundred miles an hour — all the stuff you need. But in terms of style, it's hard to beat the classic designs, such as our featured car. If you’re a classic car lover, you might look at everybody else going around in their air-conditioned euro boxes and just feel better off with a rolling piece of art that whispers stories of the past. For you, this 1980 Mercedes Benz 280SL Convertible from Virginia will suit you perfectly. It is reportedly imported from Europe and has 108,350 miles on it.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is renowned for being one of the finest grand tourers that you can buy. A grand tourer is a car that’s meant to offer effortless long-distance cruising abilities, with a healthy dose of performance and plenty of luxury. Clearly aimed at the well-off, these cars are status symbols and icons of success, too. Take the R107 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class as a prime example. You’ve probably seen this model in countless movies and sitcoms from the Seventies and Eighties. Hollywood’s love affair with the R107 is well-known, with many stars of the period choosing to buy and drive one as well. Of course, the R107 was well-received in its home country of Germany too. This is one such example: a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL that’s reportedly been imported from Germany. The car is said to have 95,000 miles on the clock and a recent oil change, plus some mechanical refreshments.
Cars have gotten a lot more flashy over the past few decades. They used to be used to get from A to B, but now? They’re seen as full-on accessories and status symbols. If you want a status symbol that will have people thinking you’re in the mafia but can also outrun the cops, this 2024 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Grand Edition with just under 7,000 miles on the clock is more than up to the task. You see, the G wagon started life as a rugged, utilitarian workhorse, but as the years have gone by, Mercedes has found more and more ways to refine it. And the rest is history. This particular G-Wagon is 1 of just 1,000 units in the world, making it a real unicorn.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is widely regarded as the finest luxury grand tourer available from Mercedes-Benz. While the S-Class may be sportier and most AMG models may be quicker, the SL is a car that makes driving hundreds of miles seem like the proverbial walk in the park. In fact, the more you drive it, the more you want to keep going. The R107 generation was produced between 1971 and 1989. Designed by Joseph Gallindorfer and Friedrich Geiger, the R107 saw over 300,000 units built. It also received many updates and changes, sometimes on a yearly basis. Today’s 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450SL has less than 22,000 miles reported to its name, and hails from Palm Coast, Florida. Hence, it’s a lovely addition to a discerning classic car collection, or the best way to start one. Read on to discover what this car offers.
Mercedes-Benz replaced its successful R107 SL-Class with the R129 in 1988. The R129 brought fresh styling by Mercedes-Benz design maestro Bruno Sacco to the automaker’s pinnacle two-door grand tourer, plus fresh engineering. Like the previous generation, it could be had with a removable hardtop to augment its powered soft top. Today, the R129 is a highly desirable modern classic, and a car that can be driven daily if desired. If that kind of value proposition appeals to you, here’s a 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500 from Virginia with under 43,000 miles to its name. This car is said to be all stock save for an upgraded radio. Let’s see what it offers.
