         We purchased this a few weeks back from a dealer we deal with in Hilton Head S.C.  ...When we got the car it drove out well as it was and could tell it had been maintained as it should.. The A/C was nice and cold and it went through all the gears nice and smooth..



          As you can tell from some of our photos we keep SL s and SLC s in stock, I enjoy the cars because they are rugged yet dependable and still look as cool as they did in the 70's and 80's..When we got the car we knew that there was a clerical error at some point and the carfax reads mileage inconsistently,This usually happens when the odometer stops working (this one works fine)..Not sure what happened and its not a big issue to us as its a 29 year old car..


           The car went to service for an inspection and really all it seemed to need was an oil change so that's all we have done to it..The car cranks  as it should and tracks down the road well, The steering box and rack feel tight and doesn't wander..These are expensive if they need replacing..

            Both of the power windows work smooth and don't get stuck or need any help going up and down..The cruise control works well, the A/C as stated earlier is fine, the clock works.. Sorry about the radio it's an aftermarket cd player, I am a factory type guy but it is a clean installation..
           Mechanically the car sounds great and does't have any odd noises coming from anywhere throughout the car..


          The tires are in excellent shape and have plenty of tread on them..Usually I will have the wheels separated from tires and have them properly resprayed but these are like new..I believe the car to be a several year old respray of the entire car because the paint is in excellent condition, The paint seems to be a base/clear job and there are virtually no imperfections..A very high quality job was done on the car..All of the moulding and rubber gaskets and such were replaced or removed before painting..There is no over spray on the outside of the car whatsoever..The rocker panels are clean and don't seem to have any rust in the common places..There is a small section under the left front body trim that shows about a tic- tac sized spot of rust right above the trim piece..Not worth repairing if you were to ask me..The undercarriage is nice and tidy and seems to not have been abused.. There is a slight bit of seepage coming from the oil pan area but the car as been on pavement for two weeks and there is nothing dripping on the ground..Also the the under hood mat is brand new..Probably installed by the previous owner..


            The soft top seems to have barely been used..We put it up after hosing it down to soften and stretch it out and about ten minutes later it was simple to put up and down..Never force any soft top that you think has been down any length of time..They could stretch and tear, So hose them down and wait for it to relax and become soft again..Just a tip from old guys back in the day..Course I'm only 38..The hardtop is in great shape and needs nothing..Very easy on and off, Nothing is warped...



              Even though the car seems to have been resprayed nothing leads me to believe it has ever been in an accident, The body lines on every corner are correct as they should be..All of the stainless is in nice shape and the chrome on the bumpers is nice also..There is a very very small ding in the middle of the bumper on the rear on the top...The trunk is nice and tidy and comes complete with factory spare with tire as well as all tools along with caution display placard for an emergency...The dash has the smallest crack near the bezel that you can imagine..I tried to take a close up of it..This is not a dash cover..The wood is shiny and completely intact..The chrome around the wood is all there and not frayed or warped..The seats are in excellent shape with very little wear on the bolsters..They have not been redone..They are the original leather..


               Overall this is a nice above driver quality car with virtually no issues to speak of..It can driven daily if you were to ask me..They are reliable cars anyways..Yes this a double cam chain car for those who weren't sure about the 84's..I appreciate the opportunity to do business with those of you who have read this...Chris

                We have priced the car to what we believe is fair for the buyer and the seller, Because it is less than others doesn't reflect the condition of the vehicle..We are realistic as to what a car like this is really worth in today's world..

                Car is not for sale locally while it is on E-Bay, Or outside of E-bay (please don't ask)..

                If you have any questions please feel to call also...I am a car guy also....

Petrolicious shows Mercedes 280SL as architecture in motion

Wed, Jun 17 2015

While still an absolute beauty today, the design of the pagoda-roof W113 Mercedes-Benz SL was revolutionary when it debuted. Moving away from the soft curves of the previous SL models, the all-new generation brought an upright, angular shape that was as much architectural as automotive. In the latest video from Petrolicious, owner and architect Daniel Monti expounds on the inspiration that he gets from his 1969 280SL's fantastic styling. The roof is the most famous design feature of this generation of SL. Look at the top from the front or back, and you can see a gentle, downward arc that evokes the look of a pagoda. That one styling element is also a fabulous counterpoint to a vehicle that is largely more angular than curvaceous. Petrolicious wonderfully illustrates how some of the SL's form-follows-function design aesthetic can be found in the architect's work in this video's heaping helping of mid-century modern goodness.

Aston Martin and Daimler continue talks on SUV project, CEO required

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The Aston Martin Lagonda SUV concept revealed at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show didn't earn the plaudits the company is used to when it reveals new models, and it has lived an uncertain life ever since. Thought to have been scrapped along with the entire revival of the Lagonda brand, then thought to have been resurrected due to Chinese, Middle Eastern and Russian demand, another year passed before we heard more definitive talk about an Aston Martin expansion when AutoCar reported that the Lagonda could be built on one of Mercedes-Benz's AMG SUV platforms.
A report in Automotive News Europe indicates plans have gotten serious, its unnamed sources saying that the English carmaker is talking to Daimler "to extend their cooperation to building an SUV." Neither Daimler, Aston Martin nor Investindustrial, the managing partner among Aston Martin's ownership consortium, would comment. But with Investindustrial having pledged to expand the range, competitors like Bentley, Maserati and Lamborghini getting into the SUV racket and clear demand from current and future customers, it's easy to believe Aston Martin is working hard to put the pieces together.
One further potential bump on the road to an Aston SUV is the company's search for a new CEO. Ulrich Bez relinquished to top spot at the company at the end of 2013, and Aston reportedly will not finalize its model strategy without a new CEO in place.

Mercedes-Maybach rolls out new S, GLS and EQS SUV Night Series

Wed, May 24 2023

Mercedes-Maybach is embracing a new look for what it hopes will be a new generation of buyers — one keen to embrace its new electrified luxury models. The new Night Series will be offered on all three models in the current Maybach lineup, with the S-Class and EQS SUV variants arriving later this year and the GLS following in early 2024. While the execution off each Night Series is dependent on the model in question, they share a few common elements. Their headlights, for instance, are all embellished with dark chrome Maybach logos on rose gold trim. You'll find that dark chrome just about anywhere you'd normally spot bling, from the grille and exterior trim to the coating on the rear exhaust finishers. And then there are those wheels. I don't know what to say, quite honestly. Just look at them. And while you're at it, peep at the running boards on the EQS SUV.  While the cars shown here are quite uniform, differentiation will come in the form of finish choices and further individual customization. All three are offered with the Obsidian Black/Mojave Silver two-tone combination shown here. The EQS SUV will also be available in Obsidian Black and Manufaktur Diamond White finishes, the S-Class can be done up in various grey, black and white hues, and the GLS can be had in white or Obsidian Black.  Inside you'll find herringbone-patterned, open-pore wood with aluminum accents along with another smattering of dark chrome. The EQS SUV and GLS can optioned with with Nappa leather in two-tone Crystal White/Black Pearl or just plain Black Pearl. In the S-Class, you can do Nappa leather in either Deep White/Black Pearl or straight Black Pearl.  Look for more on the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class and EQS SUV Night Series soon, with more to come on the GLS variant as its arrival draws closer.  Related video: 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S 580 walkaround
