Selling A Classic Mercedes?
Some of the most-favored and sought after classic Mercedes-Benz automobiles are the supercharged pre-war era cars, and Mercedes convertibles into the late 1960s early 70s. The SL-Class grand tourer, manufactured since 1954, is the Sport Lightweight model. Numerous variations within the SL line can be found including engine configurations. The first generation of SL, both the Mercedes-Benz 300SL and 190SL, had their start in 1954.
Until 1963 1.9 and 3.0L, four speed manuals were produced. There were over 25,000 four cylinder 190SL Mercedes sold. If you buy or sell classic Mercedes you’ll find both coups, removable hardtops, and convertible soft tops.
The second generation was offered as a four speed automatic or manual transmission as well as a five speed manual. The engine sizes were 2.3, 2.5, or 2.8. The 230SL had big curved windows and a distinctive roofline. Around 1967 the 230SL became known as the 250SL. The engine was displaced and increased again until it became the 280SL, a favorite vintage Mercedes.

We sold him 2 classic cars in inoperable condition; Alex responded to my initial contact immediately, made a good offer and set the purchase up seamlessly. His assistant Roxana and transport manager Camille were efficient and a pleasure to work with; a minor transport issue was resolved quickly.

Camille the shipping coordinator was arranging the shipping. The title and paperwork was taken care of by Roxana. Again very pleasant people to talk to for the transaction.

Thanks again Alex and hope to do business with you soon.”
