Description

For sale is a very well-maintained Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (R107 series) from 1983.
The vehicle is in very good, original and well-maintained condition. It is accident-free, rust-free and has been regularly serviced. The low mileage of just 75,702 km underscores its excellent overall condition.

Vehicle data:

  • Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (R107)
  • Year of manufacture: 1983
  • Mileage: 75,702 km (the vehicle is still driven rarely at present)
  • Manual transmission
  • Exterior color: Blue
  • Interior: Date-colored leather
  • Original hardtop in body color included
  • Tow hitch
  • Accident-free
  • Rust-free
  • Garaged
  • 3 previous owners

The engine runs smoothly and powerfully, the manual transmission operates precisely, and the vehicle drives just as one would expect from a well-maintained classic. The new Blaupunkt Stockholm radio combines the classic-car look with modern technology. The paintwork, chrome and interior are in very beautiful condition. The only issue is that the leather on the gearshift gaiter has cracks. The chrome covers on the driver's seat are also missing (see photos). A center armrest is included, but currently cannot be installed due to the missing linkage.

In addition, there are only a few minor stone chips and a small, approximately 1 cm tear in the soft top, documented in photographs.

The 280 SL from the R107 series is one of the most sought-after classic Mercedes roadsters and offers timeless design, high reliability and excellent potential for appreciation.
Just one year ago, an extensive check-up was carried out at the Mercedes Classic Center Stuttgart. In addition to a comprehensive fluid change, the brake hoses and brake pads were renewed and the cylinder head gasket was replaced.

The MOT and emissions test were renewed in June 2026. The vehicle is currently registered; viewing is possible by appointment.
