I’m looking to buy a medium grey (over red interior) 280 SL. What is the difference between 172 G and 728 H?

Good question Keith… I happen to be working with a car right now that is Grey Beige Poly (728 H). I would say 728 has more gold in it. Anthracite (172G) is very much a dark metallic grey, what one might call ‘gun metal grey’. While 728 is more of a ‘pewter’ color… actually, similar to the photos of the Desert Taupe Metallic 560SL I have pictured in the color library. I will email you a couple of photos of 728 so you can see for yourself, I just haven’t added that color to the library yet, in fact, this is the first 280SL I have ever seen that color.

  • Tech Tip: When checking for originality on a 560 SL (or most any other Mercedes) pull up the lip of the trunk seal, right by the lock, and look for a date... month and year... if it’s close to the build date found on the VIN plate on the driver’s door jamb, you’ve got an original trunk seal from the factory. It’s the little things. This is a 1987 560 SL with a build date of “3/87”... so a seal from February makes sense. . . . #mercedesmarket #mercedes-market #tobinmotorworks #mercedesR107 #mercedes560SL #panzerwagen #mbclassic #mercedesyoungclassic #youngclassic #mbca #concourscondition #mbofinstagram #mercedesgang

The car rode and handled like a Porsche... a little harsh, very firm, purposeful. None of the usual (and ridiculous) bobbing up and down of the nose upon braking or acceleration. It truly handled like it was on rails... and hustled down the highway at 85, like
