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.

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.

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.
Mercedes-Benz’ compact luxury car offering, the C-Class has been around for ages. Decades, really. In 2008, the W204 generation was introduced, and ran for seven years. Produced as a sedan, wagon and coupe, it’s no surprise that AMG got their mitts on it as well. Cue up this 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series as proof. The car comes with AMG Performance Media, less than 10,000 miles, and a Eurocharge Stage 1 tune to make it even more appealing. Furthermore, it’s on sale by its original owner.

Classic cars and cruising go together hand in glove. The right classic car makes for drives that are never wasted and sets you refreshed to face a busy weekend.

Heralding BMW’s entry into electric and hybrid mobility, the German automaker’s i-series kicked off with the i8. What a way to start; here was a low-slung two-seat sports car that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie. The i8 featured groundbreaking styling by Benoit Jacob, and a surprising choice of engine – mid-mounted of course. Naturally, there are quite a few fans of the i8, and we’ve got a pleasant 9,000-mile 2014 BMW i8 for one lucky person to grab. So, if you’ve been lusting after an i8, drop whatever you’re doing right now and call us pronto.

Bentley is the choice for the discerning luxury car buyer who loves to drive, rather than be driven. That’s why this brand is a bit more towards the tire-smoking, apex-cutting direction, unlike Rolls-Royce, who frown upon such shenanigans. While the brand makes some superb full-size luxury sedans, grand tourers and even an SUV today, why not sample some old-school, modern-classic Bentley magic. Consider this 1999 Bentley Arnage Green Label as the perfect partner to do so. It’s got under 77,000 miles on the clock, and comes to you with two keys. Morevoer, the current owner tells us that it’s received an oil and filter change, plus an HVAC system servicing in August 2024.
