Description

A superb example of the ever-desirable Mercedes 280SL, finished in the elegant and distinctive Thistle Green.
This car has been cherished by its current owner for nearly 10 years, benefitting from regular servicing and an extensive history file. In October 2024, a substantial £12, 500 was invested into the bodywork, including the fitment of genuine Mercedes wings and a full professional respray (excluding the hardtop). The result is a beautifully presented car with excellent paint finish and strong overall presence.
The interior remains original and in exceptionally good condition, perfectly complementing the car’s genuine low mileage of just 59, 652 miles.
Powered by the robust and highly regarded 2. 8-litre M110 E28 inline-six engine, the 280SL is widely considered to be more durable and straightforward than its V8 counterparts, offering smooth performance with renowned Mercedes reliability. Paired with an automatic gearbox, it delivers effortless classic motoring.
Key Features:
• Automatic transmission
• 2. 8L M110 inline-six engine
• Two keys
• Detachable hardtop and stand
• Mohair soft top in good condition
• Extensive service history
• £12, 500 recent body restorationA modern classic, that offers an effortless comfortable drive,. The R107 model is celebrated for its timeless styling, engineering quality, and strong investment potential. This low-mileage, well-maintained, and recently refreshed example represents an excellent opportunity to own a truly usable and appreciating classic.
Ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
