1984 Mercedes-Benz W107 280 sl review from North America
"A true work of art with a beautiful, timeless look and a nack for comfort and reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Antenna won't go up or down - is stuck half way.
Noisy with hardtop ; drafty with soft-top.
Horn is weaker than when car was bought - placement of sounder is not logical.
Clock has stopped working and cluster light is gloomy.
General comments?
Superior shape or car.
Paint is still perfect, after 22 years.
VERY comfortable.
VERY reliable - my old Geo metro when out at 40,000...i kno this one will be able to go past 300,000 without a major work up.
Logical placement of window buttons and dash buttons.
Anything else? eh I don't think so! this car is awsome in many, many ways!
