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.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is one of the most aspirational midsize luxury cars out there. Aspirational, because many eager motorists aspire to own and drive one at some point in their life. While an S-Class is very much a car to be driven in, the E-Class strikes that perfect balance between a driver’s car and one that is ideal to be chauffeured in. Of course, that applies to the sedan and station wagon; cars such as the E-Class Coupe and Convertible/Cabriolet are very much aimed at those who love to drive. Take this 2016 Mercedes-Benz E400 Cabriolet as a prime specimen. It’s a well-adjudged specification, with ample but not excessive power, plenty of comfort features, and a timeless silhouette. Furthermore, it comes to you with under 22,000 miles on the clock, and has undergone a recent service.
When you think of legendary motors, one might think of the legendary R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL. Turn back the clock to the 70s and the birth of what would be Mercedes-Benz second longest running model would take the world by storm and become a classic that's demanded by enthusiasts worldwide. With an almost two decade run and many examples made, finding a clean 70s Mercedes-Benz SL is surprisingly tough to come by. Let's cut out the hunt and present you with this lovely 1979 Mercedes-Benz 450SL we have today. With a reported 83,900 miles on the clock, this German classic is a clean example ready to take your weekend drives and driveway game up a level.
The famous French designer Paul Bracq deserves a round of applause from all European auto lovers around the globe. He is the creative mind behind Mercedes-Benz's most glamorous and desirable models. Among them, the Pagoda is a cherished example built between 1967 and 1971. The one Pagoda nickname stems from the design of the hardtop roof, which is similar to the roofs of traditional Asian pagodas. It was also called the Mercedes-Benz W 113 and made history as the first sports car with a "safety body." What we have here is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL showing just 47,700 miles on its clock. Its owner claims that they are the second owner of this car, and it is mostly original. It currently resides in California and is awaiting its next lucky owner.

Audi’s Q8 is the top-tier luxury SUV that you can get from the iconic four-ringed German luxury automaker. Introduced for the 2019 model year, the Q8 is a midsize luxury crossover SUV, much like the Q7. However, despite sharing a platform with the Q7 (and the Lamborghini Urus plus the Bentley Bentayga), the Q8 is a five-seat, two-row SUV with sportier styling. This particular 2019 Audi Q8 Prestige comes to you with all servicing up to date and 77,000 miles on the clock. It also has plenty of optional extras.
The word muscle is often associated with American motors that push out a whole lot of performance and unique design.

This British muscle car is not just a performance powerhouse but also makes for an ideal grand tourer to gulp down the miles in performance and luxury, whichever you prefer. With a reported 79,091 miles on the clock, it's time you got behind the wheel of this big cat and experienced the muscular performance and looks it has on offer.
