Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this Stunning and
very rare 1970 Mercedes Benz 280sl.
HISTORY
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a grand touring car manufactured by
Mercedes since 1954. The designation SL derives from the German
Sportlich-Leicht, (English: Sport Lightweight). The original idea
was suggested by American importer Max Hoffman, who perceived a
market for a toned-down Gran Prix car tailored to affluent
performance enthusiasts in the booming post-war American market,
which remains the primary market for the vehicles.
Next came the SL-Class 230 SL, a new design with a 2.3-litre
mechanically fuel injected six cylinder engine. It featured a low
waistline and big curved greenhouse windows, and a Coupe Roadster
with detachable hardtop, whose distinctive roofline earned the
nickname "pagoda top." The design was by Paul Bracq. Around 1967,
the engine received a displacement increase and the model became
known as the 250 SL. Within a year the engine displacement was
increased for the final time and the model designation became 280
SL. Beginning with later versions of the 250 SL changes were made
to dashboard padding, switches and knobs, door pockets (US models
only) and steering wheel. In addition, on the 230 SL formerly
separate centre hub caps and wheel trim rings became full wheel
covers. SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
