  • From its introduction at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1963, the W113-generation SL-Class proved to a hit for the storied German automaker. More of a successor to the 4-cylinder 190 SL rather than the exclusive 300 SL, the 230 SL (250 and 280 variants were released over time to improve performance) featured styling by Paul Bracq and the build quality expected from the brand. Naturally, the car became an instant classic, offering long-lasting charm to critics and collectors alike. With ever more comfort and safety, each variant of the W113 SL quickly won over the hearts of celebrities and other notable owners over its production run between 1963 and 1971.

    The beautiful 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous Ivory over Cognac Leather and features a Black folding convertible top along with a matching Ivory removable hardtop. This exquisite motorcar has been beautifully maintained and comes with many factory installed features, including an automatic transmission, power steering, and a Becker Europa AM/FM radio. We are proud to offer this magnificent 280 SL roadster to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this fabulous classic.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
