In the 1970s and early 1980s a combination of safety and emissions regulations and pressure from insurance companies prevented Mercedes from offering the SL in European specification in the United States. The officially offered Mercedes got massive bumpers, different headlights, and had limited power. However, some dealers were able to get around the regulations and offered certified European versions of the SL in their own showrooms. The car would then get an additional nameplate as proof of its U.S. approval. These cars were referred to as "grey market" and it is estimated that around 200 cars with the modern, dynamic and officially unavailable in the United States 2.8-litre DOHC engine found their way to the American market in this way. This is the pedigree of the presented Mercedes 280 SL R107 from 1985, in red color, preserved in beautiful condition. How does it drive? In our opinion, with this engine it is even more pleasant than with a V8. The inline unit is definitely lighter, which is definitely a plus in the 107, and the twin shaft engine has a very pleasant, even sporty sound.
