Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury vehicle producer that needs no introduction whatsoever. One of their finest model line-ups was the Mercedes-Benz R107/C107 range of cars, produced from 1971 till 1989. These were classified as sports car/grand tourers. The R107/C107 were available in the SL and SLC configuration. Up for grabs is an impressive 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC Euro model, with just 66,562 miles on the clock.
Bedecked in a stunning Lapis Blue which the seller reports is a recent re-paint, this 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC is sure to draw attention for its grace and beauty. The 280 SLC is a 2-door hardtop coupe, which can be distinguished by the rear quarter window slats. The front features a slatted grille with the Mercedes-Benz logo on it. Below the front bumper, a pair of fog lamps can be observed, while the hood is host to the Mercedes-Benz roundel. Moving on to the rear, the trunk lid is host to the 280 SLC badge and the Mercedes-Benz logo. The car sits on a set of true vintage Mercedes-Benz wheels finished in chrome and blue, with the Mercedes-Benz logo in the middle while white-walled tires run around it. A perfect match for the exteriors Lapis Blue color is the Blue Plaid interior color, this whole color combination is reminiscent of the Santorini hotels in Greece. The 4-spoke steering wheel is finished in an unassuming black behind which rests the cluster gauge which is done in white and yellow. The interior features a wood trim as well. The seller is giving the car away with the factory tool kit, manufacturer's original literature, and three keys.
While North America received the SL and SLC with only a V8, Europe had the choice of the 2.8L and 3.0L inline-6 engines. This 1981 Mercedes-Benz 280 SLC is host to the fuel-injected 2.8L inline-6 coupled to a 4-speed automatic transmission which sends power to the rear wheels. It is reported that the fuel system was cleaned, a new distributor installed, and new fuel lines and fuel tank were all done and installed in 2020. The top speed was officially stated as 129 mph as new which is quite decent for the time.

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.
Like most Mercedes-Benz cars, the timeless SL series is known for retaining its value as soon as it rolled off the showroom floor. In contrast to the mass production of most cars during its era, the number of SLs manufactured was very small. Only 23,742 units were built from 1968 through 1971, with roughly half of this figure sold in the United States, making this 280SL a rare collectible. It famously used the same double A-frame suspension proven years ago on the legendary 300 SL. This Mercedes-Benz 280SL has been kept by the second owner from 1973 to the present and is reported to have been serviced on time throughout that period. With just 119,000 miles on the clock, this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL awaits your ownership in Washington.
What do you get if you want a Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but with a sportier, coupe-like silhouette? One might point to the E-Class Coupe, but then you counter with “I want four doors”. No worries, Mercedes-Benz’s boffins had anticipated such a request. That’s why the CLS-Class was born 2004, as a four-door coupe-like variant of the E-Class. Three generations were made before the nameplate was retired in 2023, as Mercedes-Benz now offers similar value propositions in other models. This 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 comes from the second generation of the model, and has covered 72,229 miles so far. It’s a well-specified car, with the Premium Package, AMG Line Package, Parking Assist Package, Night Package, and Driver Assistance Package all ticked off. Hence, it’s a great luxury car if you’re looking for something truly sleek and stylish, with a Star on the nose.
If you look at any modern luxury car, its main selling points are its gargantuan screens pasted on the dashboard or its gimmicky self-driving abilities. Go back 30 years, however, and the term Luxury Car meant something completely different. This 1995 Mercedes-Benz S600 coupe with just 135,238 miles on the clock is a perfect representation. The W140 generation is known as the last overengineered Mercedes, and it really shows.
One of the most popular luxury midsize cars, the Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class, was introduced in 1984. Since then, this sturdy German cruiser has gained a reputation for being the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s bulletproof build quality and reliability. It was made as a sedan, coupe, convertible and estate. Up for sale today is a pleasant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE two-door pillarless coupe with a scant 99,157 miles on the odometer. We say scant because it’s not difficult for these cars to quickly rack up mid or high six-figure mileages. So, if you want a practical modern classic that can possibly outlive you, here’s the golden ticket. The car comes with two keys, the original manual, and is reported to have all servicing done up to date.
