A few statistics about this gleaming example of the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL Class:
Twin-turbo three-liter V-6 under the hood.
362 horses.
369 pound-feet of torque.
Zero to sixty in under five seconds.
Top speed of 155 miles an hour.
It doesn't get much better than that.
The AMG version does, but it's even more expensive. ;-)

In 1971, Mercedes-Benz announced the replacement of the SL Pagoda range: the new model would be known as the ‘R107’ and would combine ultimate comfort with the now essential safety features. The 280 SL version, which this model belongs to, heralded the return of the 6-cylinder engine and was unveiled to the public in mid-1974 to meet the demands of a clientele concerned about fuel consumption.
This model is a European version delivered in this elegant Astral Silver colour, which we can trace back to 1991 in the Hérault region. It then passed into the hands of an enthusiast in the Gard region, before returning to the Hérault in 2016 and joining the current owner’s collection. Today, it is in very satisfactory condition: the paintwork, which was redone many years ago, remains free of any notable defects, as does the original upholstery. It should be noted that the hard top is still present and in excellent condition.
Our test drive revealed no particular problems. In early 2024, nearly €4,000 were invested in a major overhaul; as the car has not been driven much since then, a routine service may be worth considering. Offered at a very attractive estimate, this 280 SL is now the perfect purchase for an aspiring collector looking to add a convertible to their garage that is just as comfortable in summer as it is in winter!

For many, this is the first true supercar. Originally, it was a pure racing car - type name SLR - of which only 10 were built in 1952. Between 1955 and 1957, 1.400 Gullwings were produced : it was the first production car with fuel injection. A key feature was its extremely rigid construction thanks to a tubular chassis. What captures the imagination most are the gullwing doors, which inspired many nicknames. 29 ex. with aluminum bodywork were also built, resulting in a weight saving of 158 kg. The 300 SL has long been a benchmark in classic car valuation, somewhat like the gold standard.

In 1957, the 300 SL Gullwing was replaced by the Roadster. Like its predecessor, it was created at the initiative of American importer Max Hoffman. It received an entirely new tubular chassis with lower sills, allowing the installation of conventional doors. The mechanical components remained largely unchanged, but the rear swing axles were replaced by an independent De Dion rear axle, providing smoother suspension and more reliable handling for everyday use. From 1961 onward, the front drum brakes were replaced with disc brakes, and toward the end of production the cast-iron block was replaced by an aluminum one. A stylish hardtop was available as a factory option. Production ended in 1963, with a total of 1.858 roadsters built.

This red Mercedes SL convertible is clearly of fifties vintage. It looks like a restoration project.
If you thought I took this at C&G Auto Tech in Caldwell, New Jersey, you'd be half right. This car was actually at Precision Motors in Caldwell, half a block to the west. :-)

Produced from 1953 to 1963, a total of 25.881 units were built. As early as 1953, development began on an open version of the 180 Ponton sedan. The 190 SL is therefore technically based on the so-called "Ponton Model". It was available only with a 1,9-litre 4 in-line petrol engine equipped with twin carburetors. It was introduced at roughly the same time as the 300 SL Gullwing. It shared some styling features and was intended to be an affordable version of the exclusive sports car. For this reason, Daimler-Benz described it in its brochures as a "touring car" rather than a sports car. In 1963, it was succeeded by the "Pagoda" (W113).
