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.
The first thing that’ll strike you about this navy blue 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is its lack of the more common North American-style elongated bumpers. Since the car is a German import, it comes with the sleeker slimline bumpers that other markets, including Germany, got. Furthermore, you’ve got a matching hard top as well as a soft top, so this is truly an all-season car. The interior of this 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is another indicator that this isn’t an American-market car because you’ve got two small rear seats as well. American market cars replaced this with a padded luggage storage area to augment the car’s decently sized trunk. Other features of note include dual-zone climate control with air conditioning and a Becker Mexico radio cassette player. There’s another distinctive feature that you may have noticed, but we’ll talk about that in the next section.
Under the hood lies a smooth 2.8-liter six-cylinder powerplant, factory rated for around 182hp and 176lb-ft. But the car’s most defining feature is something that reportedly wasn’t offered in North America: a five-speed manual gearbox! Yes, you’ll most likely have noticed this in our interior pictures. The engine uses Bosch K-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection. Other highlights include independent front and rear suspension, recirculating ball power-assisted steering, and front plus rear power-assisted disc brakes.

The R107 era from Mercedes-Benz’s popular SL-Class lineup is a popular classic for many. It’s perfect as your first introduction to classic cars, as well as a fine addition for seasoned collectors to make to their collections. During the model’s 18-year production run, Mercedes-Benz continually updated and enhanced it. The car also gained a formidable reputation for its luxury and refined long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1980 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes to you from Seattle, and has driven over 185,000 miles so far. However, you can see by the condition of the car that these machines were built to travel. With the requisite maintenance performed in a timely manner, there’s no reason why this car couldn’t outlive its owner!
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.
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.
Luxury that is finely tuned over the years and made perfect is what the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is all about; it's the finest motor Mercedes-Benz can offer its clientele.

Performance that is subtle is the right type of smiles per gallon. When you are loud and brash, one does expect the performance to back it all up, but if you choose to fly under the radar and still sting when heavy on the gas pedal, smiles per gallon quickly ensue. The S Class has been this silent warrior of performance; it doesn't stop there, as it is also the golden standard of Mercedes luxury as well. Present today is a fine example from the S class family and takes shape with this 2017 Mercedes-Benz S550. With a reported 65,000 miles on its clock, this clean example hails from Canyon Lake, is reported to come with two keys, Texas, and is ready to be the perfect way of getting about in luxury, style and performance.
