About this car
This 280 SL was built in 1971, the final year of the W113 'Pagoda' series, and the 168 hp 2.8-litre car is the most powerful of the line. It is finished in silver grey metallic over black MB-Tex, a classic combination for the model, and comes with its matching hardtop. It is right-hand drive with an automatic gearbox.
The odometer shows around 70,700 miles, which the dealer puts at under 1,400 miles a year. The page says the current owner added about 3,000 miles, including an SLSHOP road trip. SLSHOP prepared and maintained the car and sold it to that owner, and it has serviced it since.
The history file is thick. It holds old MoT certificates, tax discs, registration plate change notifications and many service invoices, topped by recent SLSHOP paperwork. The dealer lists a 24-month warranty with the sale.
