About this car

This is a 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL from the R107 generation, which ran from 1971 to 1989. The 280 used the 2,746cc straight-six, rated at 182 bhp, and this car is an automatic right-hand-drive example. It was first registered on 29 September 1983.

The car is finished in Classic White over blue leather and shows 78,372 miles. It has been restored extensively. The engine and gearbox were removed and the body stripped for a bare-metal respray, and the mechanicals were fully overhauled. Work by SL Shop is noted. The interior has new door cards, carpets and a new soft top, and the car sits on lightweight 15-inch Mexican Hat alloy wheels.

It comes with a current V5, MOT certificates, the original service booklet and related invoices.
