I bought this 280SL nearly four decades ago because it embodied everything I loved about Mercedes-Benz: timeless design, solid engineering, and understated luxury. Back then, the R107 series stood out as a true icon of style and performance—it was the kind of car that made you feel something every time you drove it. And it still does.
What makes this one unique isn’t just the classic gold paintwork or the rare brown/ orange tweed interior—it’s the condition and care it’s had over the years. It’s been garaged in a heated space all its life, meticulously maintained, and never neglected. It still wears its originality proudly, right down to the interior fabrics and soft top. No leaks, no rust, no stories—just a genuinely honest car.
My favourite thing about this classic? The way it drives. Smooth, confident, and with just the right amount of road presence. When the roof is down and the engine hums through a country lane, it’s pure motoring joy. This isn’t just a car—it’s a piece of automotive history, and it has soul.
After 38 years, it’s time for someone else to enjoy what I’ve cherished. If you’re looking for a classic that’s been loved, maintained, and ready to enjoy, this is it.
