SOLD Reviewed is this incredibly well preserved Mercedes-Benz 280SL Roadster from Mercedes-Benz, a (final year of production) 1971 model in Signature Silver over Black leather. This is an incredibly solid car that has seen only a cosmetic restoration, with work done to the paint, mechanicals, and interior. Much of the mechanical restoration was performed by Black Forest Motors, a leading repair/restoration center for vintage Mercedes-Benz vehicles. There are receipts for well over $50K in the last few years, including a full overhaul of the engine/fuel system, brakes, axles, and driveline. Cosmetically, the paint is not original, but high quality and properly executed, and the interior leather, carpets, wood, and may controls have been refreshed. The Becker Europa II has been upgraded with a modern auxiliary input, and the air conditioning has been overhauled and remains far colder than in most older German cars. In addition to the extensive service records dating back to the 1980s, the original manuals books, and tools are still with the car, tracing it's ownership back decades - it is believed this is a 3-owner car. SOLD

When I was 12 I filled out a newspaper advertisement ad for Don Rasmussen Mercedes Benz, Portland, Oreg., to get a brochure... that was in 1971 or 72. After I got the brochure in the mail, a salesman called as a follow up to my inquiry, when my mother answered, she let him know my age and that I was in the 7th grade. He had a good laugh. But I looked at that little booklet over and over for years. It was about 5 x 7 inches, in color, devoting a 2-page spread to each model. I remember them featuring the key to the car with a rubber top, as a safety feature. I rode the bus downtown a few times to see the cars in person and the 1972 auto show.

Great car. There was a weather guy in San Diego who's name was Bob Dale and he had one of these and another car similar from the 60s. He bought both new and I think they were the only 2 cars I ever seen him and his wife with. He showed me the the older ones stereo which used the old tubes to operate. They looked brand new and was definitely something to appreciate.

It actually replaced BOTH the 300SL and the 190SL by threading the needle between them. My grandfather had 3 W113's bought brand-new from Peter Gregg then Brumos in Jacksonville when Porsche & Mercedes were being pedaled under the same roof. He was a mechanical engineer who was going through an all-Mercedes phase at that point, and I remember well him extolling the engineering virtues of Mercedes. He rigged up a hoist in his garage where he attached hooks to the corners of the hardtop and cranked-up a steel cable raising that *very heavy* top up to the ceiling.

it is true, every customer from the US, that I had over in Europe, complained about the same thing: How aggressive they drive in the states... also about the bad quality of the roads
@apollosbrownies
@apollosbrownies 4 года назад
I can definitely attest to that; if you drive proper and polite, you’ll be run over. If you are aggressive then everyone else will want to run you off the road. It’s like everyone has a point to prove or a chip on their shoulders. No one seems to understand yielding and merging, giving and taking right of way, courtesy, decency, and common sense! Don’t get me started on passing etiquette on freeways and highways, or using roundabouts, intersections, and stop signs! Head up into Canada and it’s already a world of difference! In Europe, many countries actually train their drivers, or at least have far stricter driving enforcement - not here! No one enforces left lane for passing, handsfree/texting driving laws, and other important safety laws! And the roads are pretty horrific at times. Try driving Massachusetts’ roads and highways, then compare them to a place like New Hampshire, a state that actually regularly does preventative maintenance and infrastructure upgrades - world’s of difference there too!

But I gotta say older Mercedes classic Mercedes are the best. I love those cars because the interior and it's well made and they last forever, especially the convertibles.
