Description
With only 50k miles from new and 4 owners, this ’84 280SL is a beautifully preserved example of the ever-popular R107 SL.
Historic tax class, making this car exempt from ULEZ (and other clean air zones), road tax and MoT.
Supplied new by Rawsons, MB main dealers in Kent, and has remained in Kent throughout its 41 years.
First registered to a Mr Kemp for only 4 months, but to its second owner, a Mrs Casey, for 17 years. Mr Pelham had the car for 2 years before trading it in to Aston Martin, Sevenoaks, from which its last owner bought the car 22 years ago.
Finished in Champagne metallic with the factory option of a contrasting hardtop in Manganese Brown metallic. The hood too is dark brown fabric and inside, it’s tan cloth.
It was optioned with an automatic gearbox, alloy wheels, headlamp wash/ wipe, fire extinguisher, walnut wood and a Blaupunkt stereo.
All original books and manuals, including the service book. MoTs going back 35 years and extensive service history. Recently had major service with transmission fluid, differential oil and coolant replaced. Wax treated underneath too.
In beautiful condition throughout. Immaculate bodywork, the alloys wear matching Michelin tyres, the hood is the original and appears to be barely used and in perfect order. The interior is completely original and immaculate with no wear or sun damage. This is a car that has evidently been garaged from new.
Drives beautifully with its lusty six-cylinder engine and smooth automatic gearbox – what better way to enjoy a summer’s evening!
In summary, a lovely low mileage, low owner 280SL in attractive period colours. ULEZ exempt and ready to enjoy.
