\"Mercedes-280SL-1\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

When we think of cars made by Mercedes Benz, we think of big, hulking, masculine brutes like our favorite hulk the G-Wagen. There’s something obviously Germanic and heftily big boned about them, something that has, to be frank, rarely mustered our passion.<\/p>\n

\"Mercedes-280SL.5\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

This Mercedes 280SL, however, scotches the belief in Benz’s unreconstructed blokishness.<\/p>\n

The car is available at a tantalisingly low estimate of between $40-70K as part of a private collection n Canada.<\/p>\n

The 280SL- which replaced the legendary 300SL in 1963 representing a more accessible luxury GT for the burgeoning Domestic and US market.<\/p>\n

It came in a perky package with a nicely stiff chassis and a straight six engine that did the job properly. It was the boxy but graceful design of the body that has proved such a perennial. It evokes, somehow, a more feminine aspect of those stoic, solid brand values.<\/p>\n

\"Mercedes-280SL.6\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

It might not really be a pure blooded silver arrow with racing heritage, but it summed up a cheeky sort of sixties aesthetic that has lasted the test of time.<\/p>\n
