  • The 280SL Roadster is undoubtedly the sweet spot of the classic Mercedes-Benz model range. They remain attainable despite rapidly increasing values over recent years. And, in addition to being extremely stylish, are reliable enough to be used for pleasure frequently. The elegant and understated styling of these Roadsters, penned by designer and artist Paul Bracq, made this model a desirable accessory for young Hollywood celebrities in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

    The magnificent 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL roadster featured here is finished and gorgeous dark green over matching leather interior and dark green folding convertible top. This investment-grade example has been subject to a three-year no-expense-spared restoration by marque specialists and is among the best examples to be found on the market today. This original California car has just been released after over 45 years of single-family ownership and would be an exceptional candidate for a top-tier collection. I have owned more 280 SL roadsters than any individual in the country, and this example is among the best I’ve seen in years. I personally believe the investment potential of this iconic motorcar will grow beyond your imagination. We are proud to offer this incredible show-quality 280 SL roadster to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the best!

    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
