⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Comfortable with a distinct style, the 280 SL is a refined and practical route to classic car ownership.

The R107 series of Mercedes Benz SL roadster is the symbol of refinement, taste and a little common sense thrown in. Announced in 1971, it established itself as the ideal car for those who seek the experience of a well-made, comfortable, luxurious and practical cruiser. Mercedes Benz has established a reputation for dependable engineering; the SL embodies these qualities thanks to the refinement of its engines, ranging from the fuel-efficient sixes to the punchy V8s.

Usable and easy to drive, the 280 SL was continuously developed over its 14-year lifespan, benefiting from incremental improvements to its appeal thanks to a Bosch D-Jetronic fuel injection system, a 4-speed automatic gearbox and further enhancements to its cabin.

This restored 1983 280 SL in "Signal Red" has a new "Mushroom" leather interior and is presented with a hardtop. In need of some minor cosmetics to finish it off, it has hardly been used since its restoration. Coming to market after 8 years with our vendor, this solid and smartly presented example is a fantastic opportunity for R107 ownership and is MOT and road tax exempt, but comes with an MOT to March 2026 for peace of mind.
