The Mercedes-Benz W108 series of 1965 to 1972 is part of the hallowed S-Class lineage. Intended as the Stuttgart automaker's pinnacle offerings of the time, these four-door sedans were widely acclaimed, and over 380,000 were made during their production run. This example, a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE, is a four-door sedan with a mere 20,500 miles on the clock and has received some refreshment work to keep it in superb condition. If you'd like to see what Mercedes-Benz motoring of the Sixties and Seventies was like, this is a worthy classic car to purchase as a first-time classic or another addition to a discerning collection.
Mercedes-Benz perfected the German luxury car recipe with the S-Class, a model that’s been around since 1954, and gained the ‘S’ moniker in 1972, with the W116 being the first to carry this hallowed letter. The preceding three generations weren’t explicitly badged ‘S’, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t have the pedigree, in fact, they laid the groundwork for a formula that has served Mercedes-Benz superbly to this date. What we’ve got here is a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SE from New York with a healthy 107,000 miles behind it, which is reportedly an all-original car except for the tires, brakes, and windshield. Two keys are included in the sale, as are books and manuals.
A Mercedes-Benz is primarily intended to make a statement for its owner while offering a high-end lifestyle when you are on the road. This type of car is typically chauffeured and features a comfortable space in the back seat for the owner to enjoy. But that's not the only way the company makes use of German engineering genius. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL550 is one such example of their offering to the more fun-loving individual. Offering space for just two individuals and topped with a convertible roof, the SL550 is the perfect blend of a grand tourer and a sports car. Our subject car is up for sale in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, with just 43,601 miles on its clock.
A Mercedes-Benz SL is not made for the average person who only wants a means of transport. Only certain types of people fit the status of this car. A person worthy of this type of car, which is becoming a rare classic, looks forward to a sunny weekend to fold the roof down and drive through twisty roads. They enjoy the spirited rumble that comes from a powerful engine. They aren’t afraid to use the car as a daily driver as they know these machines are meant to be driven, not babied. Or even if you are someone captivated by its charming beauty, we are here to provide you with everything you need to know before purchasing it. This stunning 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 came to our inventory from Greenwich, Connecticut, with just 20,382 miles on its odometer. Its owner is ready to hand it over to the next lucky buyer with its original owner's manual and two sets of keys.
The ʼ80s was a time of extravagance, pushing the limits of automotive engineering and a big shift in customers preferences - analog was a thing of the past, the new and improved era was all about digital. There was however one machine that stood the test of time and handled the ʼ80s and its massive shift with class and elegance. The Mercedes-Benz SL R107 was nothing short of iconic, it was iconic to the point where it not just changed how open top motoring was in the ʼ70s but brought analog and old school charm into the ʼ80s as well. Present here is an automotive icon whose production ran almost two decades and takes shape with this lovely 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL. This clean example is reported to have a mere 24,688 miles on its clock and is ready to transform what your expectations of memorable drive is and also serve as a savvy investment in the years to come
Mazda is perhaps the only mass market auto manufacturer that has dabbled with the rotary engine for a few decades, and sold significant numbers of rotary-engined cars. Their legendary RX-7 is firmly cemented in enthusiast and tuner history as one of the greats. The RX-8 that followed was a bit more mellow, but added some family friendliness to the package while retaining that smooth, high-revving rotary motor. Apart from these models, there were a few others in history. One of these was the RX-3, which was offered between 1971 and 1978. This was the rotary-engined variant of the Mazda Grand Familia compact car, Mazda’s answer to Toyota’s fearsome Corolla and the Sunny from Nissan. Today, finding a Grand Familia is hard to say the least, much less its rarer rotary-engined variant, but we’ve got one right here. If you want a Japanese curio to grace your garage, this 1975 Mazda RX-3 awaits in Zephyrhills, Florida. It’s got an original 36,000 miles too.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
Shown to the world in 1968, the Series 1 Jaguar XJ is famous for being the last Jaguar to have been designed under the leadership of Sir William Lyons, the man who founded Jaguar Cars of Britain. The XJ is also well-known for retaining much of its classic styling cues for over four decades, offering a refreshingly different choice to luxury car buyers who didn’t feel like going for the popular German choices. Today, we’ve got a way for you to sample a modern classic XJ, in the shape of this Series 3 1987 Jaguar XJ6 from Cooper City, Florida. The car has traveled 84,000 miles which shows that it’s been enjoyed, but with continued maintenance, can keep on going and going. That’s why you should seriously consider taking it on, as it’s a classic that you can daily drive and even use for family transport requirements.
