Mercedes 280SL

What is your favorite car of all time?

The upgrade of the 230SL to the 250SL in 1967 proved to be remarkably short-lived, surviving less than a year before Mercedes introduced the 280SL, a model that would see the second generation through to the end of its production life. For the 250 in 1967 there was a new seven main bearing engine like those fitted in the 250 saloons, the option of a five speed gearbox and disc brakes all-round as standard. In 1968, the 280SL with its 2.8 litre engine gave another good boost in torque and with a host of detail changes inside the car, many connected with safety, the 280SL received the same enthusiastic welcome and praise from the critics as had the 230SL and 250SL models before it.
