The 85’ 280SL was the third generation in the ‘SL-Class’, which was meant to be a lighter, more fun, and slightly more exciting car compared to most of the Mercedes line-up that usually boasted luxury and comfort. The two-door sports car offered a fabulous experience to those who liked to drive a powerful and nippy vehicle, but also show off a little bit of wealth. In fact, this specific generation of the SL-Class was so popular, it became the second-longest series Benz ever produced after the G- Class, which is a justification of its legendary status even today. The example on offer is currently in Washington and is up for sale by its previous owner, who has looked after this 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL for 23 years.
This specific 280SL happens to be the Euro-spec model, which is an added advantage to any diehard German auto fan. What this means is that this car has a few differences in comparison to the US model in terms of front bumper styling, headlights, and a few other subtle elements. The vehicle is cloaked in sleek silver paint that suggests a very well-maintained vehicle. This Merc includes its hardtop and soft top in the sale, giving you a chance to play around with its overall look. This classic car sits on a set of tires that have seen less than 5000 miles of road. Some additional items include a jack and spare tire, German-spec goodies like a first aid kit and flares, and a power rear-view mirror. The Interior of this 280SL is its calling card. The black leather interior looks to be made completely of high-quality material, seating its passengers in plush leather bucket seats while sporting a fine wood finish across its dash panel and center console. The cabin has no rips or tears reported throughout the entire interior, and has a ‘fabulous air conditioner that’s just been serviced’, according to the owner, who is ready to provide original maintenance and history records.
This front-mounted 2.8L twin-cam euro spec engine is notably more powerful than its U.S cousin, producing around 185hp and 238N.m of torque via a 4-speed automatic gearbox that transferred power to the rear wheels before topping out 207km/h. This particular car is reported to feature disc brakes.
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.
Are you on the hunt for a classic car that’s a German icon and a smooth boulevard cruiser to boot? Why not set your sights on a Mercedes-Benz SL from the R107 generation? Produced between 1971 and 1989, the R107 is entrenched in stardom. It’s been the preferred car of many Hollywood stars of the ’70s and ’80s, and it has starred in countless movies and TV series from the same time. Thanks to its suave design and timeless style, the R107 is a great classic car and one that will undoubtedly appreciate in value as time goes by. That’s why you shouldn’t pass up on this 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL that’s for sale in Palm City, Florida, with a mere 54,285 miles reported on the clock. The car has reportedly received a new soft top, a new alternator, a tune-up, and a recent servicing.
