Description
ONLY 70, 000 MILES
IMMACULATGE EXAMPLE
FULL HISTORY / ULEZ AND ROAD TAX IS FREE
Here at Old Colonel Cars, the Classic and Performance Car Agency, we are delighted to have this excellent Mercedes 280 SL.
This September 1985 example has covered only 70, 000 miles.
This is a superb example, absolutely stunning condition throughout.
You can look and inspect many of these and you would be hard pressed to find such a good one, one that’s clearly been looked after carefully from new, had the correct owners that have all shown this car the love it needs.
Finished in Champagne Metallic, the paintwork as you can hopefully see is superb. It was subjected to a full repaint in the original colour in 2018, by well renowned specialist garage. It was noted that the car had none of the normal corrosion issues commonly found on these, just the paint was a little tired. So now, 7 years since the repaint, its still all rust free and looking stunning.
This car has a lovely ownership history, backed up by the full service history that comes with this car.
We have the original manuals, original service book along with a folder full of old Mot’s and service receipts, from the original Sales Invoice in 1985 to now.
Services recorded at the following mileages -4527, 1388, 18990, 20202, 21212, 23018, 28244, 30654, 32580, 34852, 39143, 42989, 47526, 53022, 58254, 67705.
The first lady owner enjoyed this car for over 20 years.
The current owners have enjoyed this car for the last 6 years, always stored cleanly and correctly when not in use.
Before they purchased the car, they had the car fully inspected by a motor engineer, he agreed that this car is an outstanding example. This inspection included checking all the normal problem areas on this car, including bulkheads, boot, sills, jacking points etc.
Before that, this car was sold through the SL Shop, so its been in the right hands.
The interior is all original and outstanding, see the detailed walkaround videos on the top of our website advert.
The original soft top is in excellent condition, the windows panels replaced in the passed by the SL Shop.
Underneath, just as good, very original free from any issues.
If you are looking for an outstanding example of the Mercedes R107 280 SL, this example must be seen.
Its Mot’d until March 2026.
