Description

Turns heads everywhere it goes – a classic Mercedes roadster with timeless looks and genuine presence. A handsome 1981 Mercedes-Benz 280SL in silver, with blue/grey cloth interior trimmed in leather. Right-hand drive, automatic, and showing approximately 78,000 miles. I have owned and enjoyed the car since 2015, and it has been garaged throughout. It is believed to have had 3–4 owners from new. The 280SL is the sweet spot of the R107 range: the smooth twin-cam 2.8 straight-six gives effortless, reliable performance, and as a later car it benefits from Mercedes' improved factory rust protection. What's included: • Factory hardtop and soft top – a car for all seasons • A good file of invoices covering servicing and work over the years, including brakes • Near-complete MOT history Honest description: There is some rust underneath, as you would expect on a car of this age. There are no other major faults that I am aware of. Viewing and inspection are welcome – I would rather a buyer sees the car properly. The R107 SL is one of the great Mercedes roadsters, built to last and increasingly sought after. This is a usable, honest example ready to enjoy. Location: Broadstairs, Kent. Viewing by appointment.
