Vendor supplied images

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Charming & original example 
  • Pleasant & well-kept interior

THE APPEAL

 The R107 generation of the Mercedes-Benz SL will unquestionably go down as one of the greats, with its grand appearance and opulent interiors its stately allure is infectious, with many enthusiasts enjoying the car as a daily driver as well as a weekend toy. 
This 1985 280 SL is a charming and highly original version of the model, with evidence of a cared-for and well-maintained life it has as of late seen little use, with only 81 miles completed in the last three years. Its untouched appearance is overall very good, with the occasional sign of age starting to creep through however with a little time and love the car could be easily restored to an exceptional standard.
