Description
This beautifully presented Mercedes-Benz 280SL is offered onto the market with an incredibly low warranted mileage of 41, 600. The fantastic history file accompanying the car details a meticulous service record and MOT’s back to 1987. The SL was first registered on the 1st of December 1983 and resided in Clapham on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales for four years before coming across North Yorkshire and local to us where it has been ever since. The SL comes to us from its recent long-term owner in an impressive condition, lovely panel gaps, interior condition, and boasting a lovely grand touring driving experience.
The service portfolio records a comprehensive history with services at the Clapham Mercedes Benz dealership at 4090, 7209, 11872, 13392, and 15980, then Huddersfield Mercedes Benz agents at 18994 miles, Cragside Main Agents at 23843 and 25692, before being looked after by a North Yorkshire Marque specialist SM Autocare at 32930, 34436, 35354, 36355, 36987, 37528, 37897, 39193, 39975, and 40303 miles. in 2002 the 280SL joined a small collection of classic cars in north Yorkshire until 2010, this particular collector became a customer of ours a few years later and has since bought and sold many collector quality cars with us. The most recent owner has enjoyed sixteen years with the car and has enjoyed conservative usage in his careful ownership.
In the heart of the R107 is the tremendously smooth, efficient, and popular in-line 6-cylinder engine, the obvious choice for regular use. Putting the power to the wheels is a 4-speed automatic transmission, while performance could be described as conservative but capable. The combined drivetrain lends itself to effortless touring and with the luxury interior, the 280SL truly is peerless in its class. 8 JEG benefits from the facelift improvements that began in ‘80/’81 featuring electric windows, improved heating and ventilation, and a revised front end providing a cleaner aesthetic. Although MOT exempt, the Mercedes will receive a fresh service and MOT ahead of going to its next owner.
Please note the private registration mark is not included in the sale.
