Mercedes 280SL Sport (Bj. 1985)? http://www.classiccarshop.co.uk/images/Mercedes%20280SL%20Champagne-Large.jpg -- Last edit: 2007-07-21 00:48:53 (antp) |

I'm afraid the 280 SL wasn't sold in the US, only the models with a bigger engine... |

Matthias, please post only links, or eventually thumbnail images ![]() About the car, it is one of the "bigger" versions of the 280SL, R107; C107 if this is a coupé but this one looks more like a convertible with hardtop. -- Last edit: 2007-07-21 00:50:49 |

I agree. It's one of the reasons that if I ever bought one,I'd get a Grey Market one....funny thing is,most people I know don't understand my dislike for those bumpers ("They don't look right"...."They ruin the way it looks",etc) except for the ones who've been overseas,who agree!!! |

Hopefully you will find one. During the 90ies and also nowadays with the weak US-$ a plenty of these Mercedes, also many Porsches, VW Karmann Ghia, Austin Healey and Volvo 1800 were exported back zo Europe. Over here you can see a lot of (higher priced) classic cars in US-versions. No joke, nowadays are in Germany more Porsche 356 in traffic than ever before, many more in the 60ies. All re-imported ones from the U.S. |

I've seen a couple of US-spec MGs driving around London (with UK number plates). One was even converted to right hand drive. |

Yes, surely, also many British classic cars were brought back to Europe from the U.S., not only Big Healeys. On some oldtimer-meetings over here, more than 50% of classic British roadsters are U.S.-versions. -- Last edit: 2007-12-02 15:43:10 |

Agreed on the bumpers, but I still think U.S. spec BMW bumpers look better. ![]() BTW, there are Americans who convert the cars to Euro bumpers...it's not a hard fix. -- Last edit: 2007-12-02 15:49:31 |

Okay, not so much on the 2002, but on certain models. The E28 immediately comes to mind. I just don\'t like the \"overbite\" look of the Euro bumpers. |
