    Model History:
    Few vehicles evoke a lineage of both groundbreaking engineering and refined luxury like the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class. The first production Super Leicht (or “Super Lightweight”) cars were only slightly altered from the legendary 300 SL racecars which had cemented Mercedes-Benz’s performance image by dominating the 1950s racing circuit. Stunningly quick and with gorgeous lines, the first SLs were technical triumphs, sporting among the first direct fuel-injection systems and advanced “birdcage” design, the latter of which necessitated the first generation’s “gullwing” doors to ease entry to the cockpit.

    The introduction of the open-top roadster models, however, made the SL-Class the icon it is today. While stunning in capability, the first closed cars were considered cramped, with the high sills making entering and exiting a chore. The 300 SL roadster remedied these issues, and, as the years passed, the SL became progressively more luxurious – though it always maintained its dazzling performance.

    The third generation of the SL-Class, chassis code R107, debuted in 1971 and would become one of Mercedes-Benz’s longest-running production series. A marvel of contemporary motoring, the new SL was available with luxuries such as automatic climate control, cruise control, and real wood accents in addition to introducing the V8 to the SL. That 4.5-liter eight-cylinder featured aluminum cylinder heads and Bosch fuel injection and was said to accelerate the elegant two-seater to 60 mph in just nine seconds.

    Financing

    Finance rates as low as 8.9%.


    We know that classic car financing can pose a unique challenge. Although a vintage or exotic car can be an excellent investment, some financial institutions attempt to apply standard “used car” rules for financing a classic car, which in many cases can make loan approval difficult.


    We work closely with many banking institutions that understand and recognize the collector value of classic cars and view them as an investment, which allows us to help you get the financing you need so that you can have the car you have dreamed of.


    Terms available up to 144 Months


    If you have any questions, feel free to contact us, (314)291-7000 or credit@schmitt.com
