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.
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.

It's commonplace for the remake of a movie, car, or song not to match the original; some things are best left the way they are.
