Listed today at The Hairpin Company, Compton Bassett. Last checked today.
The 280 SL was the last and most developed of the W113 'Pagoda' line, and this 1971 car is the automatic version, supplied new to the UK in right-hand drive. It comes with both hard and soft tops.
It is finished in Aubergine over a black leather interior, an unusual and period-appropriate combination. The car has been through a full restoration, and the dealer says the work is backed by extensive invoices and photographs.
A post-restoration snagging service has been carried out recently. No price, mileage or ownership history is given on the page.
