Introduction
Dom Ginn
Just as stylish as it was in the '80s, the R107 Mercedes 280SL stands as a prime example of exceptional German engineering.
Mercedes-Benz have a reputation for comfortable touring cars, it's been well established prior to the R107 SL making its first appearance in 1972. The brand's virtues were strengthened by the SL's ingrained quality, ease of use and mechanical hardiness. All this has made it into one of the easiest classic tourers to own today. Robust engineering and durable materials go a long way into making the SL a safe choice for those who like to travel in style without the uncompromising nature of other open-top classics of the era.
Powered by the surprisingly frugal yet flexible 2.7-litre straight-six engine, the car can still hold its own on modern roads. With decent accommodation, a hardtop roof included, and excellent parts availability, the SL continues to flourish in popularity.
This 280SL has had various works carried out over its years but most recently a new exhaust pipe was fitted and the interior was stripped to remove the carpets and replace them. The car is provided with 2 sets of keys and separate hard top roof come as part of the final sale.
After completing an interim service in May 2024 including an oil and spark plug change, this lovely classic is ready for all weather types thanks to its removable roof elements and convertible setup. The private plate BSV 284 is not included in the sale.
This listing was written from information supplied by Dom after meeting Stephen the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
