Very rare SL One owner for 40 years and 21.030 km.
Very rare SL One owner for 40 years and 21.030 km.
Very special 280 SL with history from new. Includes the booklets and maintenance invoices. With a verifiable mileage of 21.030 km and in this condition almost impossible to find. Delivered new in Johannesburg and used as a second car by the first owner. After 15 years, the SL was taken to Switzerland as part of a move. There, the current Dutch owner bought the car from the widow of the first owner.
This SL cannot be compared to the average offering on the internet. The car drives, feels and steers like new. You can restore a car to infinity, but this Mercedes-Benz is unrestored and still in virtually showroom condition.
The exterior is original, rust-free and approximately 90% is in the original paint. The colour is called “signal red 568” and the paint has a beautiful deep shine. The car has been recently polished, so the body is smooth. The original bonnet looks like new and you can see from everything that the car has always been kept indoors. And the doors still close like a safe, as was customary for a Mercedes-Benz at the time. Absolute top quality.
The interior is 100% original and, of course, in very good condition. The seats look like new, which is logical given the mileage. The dashboard is intact and all instruments work as they should, including the clock. Another nice feature is the iconic Becker Mexico radio-cassette recorder with motorised antenna. It was supplied at a considerable extra cost and everything still works perfectly. The original pin to lock the gearbox is very special and extremely rare. In South Africa, this was a useful option to prevent theft.
This SL has been driven very little in 40 years, but has been excellently maintained. Invoices are available and more information will follow.
The R107 was built for no less than 18 years and, despite its high purchase price and steep prices for options, it was the most popular German convertible for many years. As you know, the R107 was built to last, from a time when Mercedes built better cars than the competition. The enormous drive for quality and the very best craftsmanship ensured the proverbial German reliability. And for years, the SL was a beloved status symbol for VIPs and film stars.
