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.
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.
Every once in a blue moon, Mercedes-AMG drops a powerhouse and calls it a Black Series. Rooted in motorsports and built in limited numbers, these models showcase the pinnacle of performance and engineering, bringing race car technology to the road. Today we have one of the best examples, the 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG Black Series. Derived from its DTM (German Touring Car Championship) counterpart, this CLK63 Black Series is instantly recognizable thanks to its flamboyant, yet functional muscular body. The CLK63 AMG was even used as the official safety car in Formula 1 from 2006 to 2007. Only a mere 500 examples were reportedly produced with over 300 models shipped here into the States. Breathing life through its massive 6.2-liter M156 V8 producing up to 500 horsepower, this German beast was and is still loved by many. This particular grey model we have today has hit 35,000 miles on the odometer with servicing kept up to date as reported. With 2 heavy duty battery remote keys with a panic button, this 1 of 1 Magno Alanite Grey CLK63 AMG Black Series is for sale in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Cruising in luxury and style exposes you to a host of choices, but narrow it down, and it's certain that a chilled-out drive experience is best enjoyed behind the wheel of a roadster. Now that you have this narrowed down, its time to pick the right roadster to enhance your drive feel, feeling overwhelmed with the choices available? Worry not, this 2015 Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG with a reported 12,150 miles on the clock is the perfect way to liven up your weekend drives in style.
The legendary Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG is reportedly the first ever AMG-Mercedes to be designed from the ground up. Featuring revised front suspension that was shared with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series, the C63 AMG was known to have the quickest, most responsive steering of any Mercedes automobile at the time. Boasting a monstrous naturally aspirated 6.3-liter Mercedes-Benz M156 engine, this German beast came out of the factory reportedly producing 451 horsepower with performance packages taking it up to 507. However, this blacked out 2013 model we have here is capable of much more. Equipped with a Gintani Supercharger and Gintani Stage 2 tune, this power figure is expected to be quite a bit of a punch over the factory rated power. This C63 AMG is a force to be reckoned with on the roads. This 2013 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG has received consistent maintenance along with a recent service having clocked a total of 52,000 miles on the odometer and is now looking for its new owner in Los Angeles, California.
Porsche’s first SUV, the Cayenne was introduced in 2002. The Cayenne quickly gained a reputation as a luxury SUV that offered Porsche’s signature driving experience, making it the most family-friendly car that the Stuttgart automaker offered at the time. Mind you, this was before the Panamera, when Porsche’s only other models were the 911 and Boxster. Now, the Cayenne is on the third generation, and continues to be a best-seller for Porsche. So, if you want a Porsche that can easily be reckoned with as your sole family vehicle, check out this 46,000-mile 2020 Porsche Cayenne S from our inventory. It’s got a punchy V6 under the hood, plenty of tech features, and is a sharp looker too.
The Bentley Continental was introduced in 2003, as the first Bentley under Volkswagen ownership of the iconic British luxury automaker. Since then, the Continental GT is one of their flagship two-door products. It’s an immensely capable driver’s car that’s also packed with the last word in luxury features and finishes. Truly embodying the Bentley spirit of redefining driving at the higher echelons, you’d be missing out on a lot if you didn’t pick up this 2013 Bentley Continental GTC from us. This gorgeous drop top bears only 25,000 miles on the clock. Let us tell you a bit more.
The successor of Jaguar’s iconic XJS grand tourer, the XK was introduced in 1996. It ran until 2014, across two generations, before the F-Type took over. The XK also spawned a high-performance, supercharged variant called the XKR. With Jaguar’s recent rebranding and new direction causing quite a bit of controversy, why not celebrate what the brand used to be, rather than taking up arms at what it might be? This 2005 Jaguar XKR Roadster is a great way to celebrate, with its drop-top and supercharged V8 waiting for you to enjoy. The car packs just 118,064 miles, and has been recently serviced too.
