| Gallery Junction presents1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL RoadsterLaunched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1963, the 230SL - or W113 as the model range was internally labeled at Mercedes-Benz – was really a completely new car through and through. A truly modern car for its time and constructed to the high level of craftsmanship expected from a Mercedes-Benz product, the model quickly became a very popular sporty two-seater among the elite. Mercedes-Benz would call the W113 "a Grand Tourer in the traditional sense" and "a unique combination of sports car performance and saloon car comfort." Many of the design and technical features were industry firsts, including the hardtop designed to withstand the cars weight for safety reasons, and with a distinct design from where the W113 series got the nickname 'Pagoda'.After the 230SL, next came the 250SL, which had about 200-cc more capacity than its predecessor; after that, both were replaced by the ultimate evolution, the 280SL, which was introduced in 1967. The enlarged 2.8- liter six-cylinder SOHC now produced 170 horsepower, and the car was outfitted with disc brakes at all four corners.For 1971, the final and best year of the 280SL, just 830 were made. This example here was sold new at Mercedes-Benz of Hollywood, CA new in 1971. It retains its original window sticker from the selling dealer and is an all original fender and floor example, including the headlight notches. It is finished in its original, rare and highly desirable color combination of code DB571 Mercedes Red Metallic and has both its hard and soft tops. It is a factory AC example and also has all of its original books, manuals and original pouch. It runs and drives excellent and shows very well. Great paint, stainless and chrome, and ready for your collection. Call or Text [email protected] 714-831-1226www.GalleryJunction.com | |
