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.

“Went to the website and downloaded some pictures of my car. I’ve bought a few cars from them and was familiar with the process. After about 15 minutes I had sold my car. Very easy and transparent.

“I helped a friend sell her 1963 Mercedes-Benz 230SL to Alex Manos. He was great to deal with through the whole transaction, from agreeing on a price to the pickup of the car. Made it very easy for us. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Remarkable…I tried to assure Alex of the condition of the car after 8 years in the garage ad he was totally understanding of the many problems that may exist and he was very positive that he understood the “unknowns” but was willing to take the risk and purchased my 1970 280SL sight unseen at a very respectable price. He brings a refreshing new image to the long held general perception that automobile agencies can’t be trusted.”
