The Mercedes-Benz SL is the German automaker's pinnacle grand tourer. Buying an SL brand-new means that you've made it in life. With a rich history dating back to 1954, every SL tells a story. This particular 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is no different. Hailing from the hallowed R107 generation, this car is a Euro model. Granted, it's got a healthy 108,640 miles on the odometer, but that's nothing for such a well-engineered car. Let's learn more about this R107 and why you should buy it.
The R107 series of SL-Classes ran from 1971 to 1989. Mercedes-Benz continuously upgraded and enhanced the model throughout its lifetime. Later models, such as this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, may look visually similar to their earlier brethren but are much changed under the skin. This particular car wears a lustrous red paint job and comes with the hard top, as reported by the current owner. This was a particularly appealing feature of the R107, as you effectively had two cars in one. You could drive around in a convertible with a soft top for those quick summer showers or to protect yourself from the searing sun. When winter rolls around, install the hardtop and enjoy proper weather protection. Inside, the Palomino interior of this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL has aged beautifully. The cabin seats four occupants, although the rear seats are better suited for children. Inside, we see beautiful Mercedes-Benz analog gauges and a period-correct Becker Grand Prix electronic radio. The car also appears to have climate control, power windows, and power mirrors. A peek within the trunk reveals the original toolkit is intact, and the trunk carpeting appears in decent shape.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL has got a 2.8L in-line 6-cylinder engine under the hood, with Bosch fuel injection. When new, the engine was rated to make 182hp and 176lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels. You'll find another rare feature on this car, which is its five-speed manual gearbox. Furthermore, with front and rear disc brakes, you're always assured of great stopping power. The car also has recirculating ball power steering to make it easier to drive, and a 90L fuel tank assures plenty of touring range between top-ups.
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.
