1984 | Mercedes-Benz 280 SL

About this Mercedes-Benz SL Series
----------------------------------

According to the Mercedes Benz Datacard, this car was built by Mercedes Benz on 22nd February 1984 and was an export specification car specially ordered by its first owner Mr Joseph Biebel from Mannheim in Germany and it was first registered in Germany on 16th March 1984. According to the Service Book, it was serviced by Mercedes Benz in Manheim in June 1984 and was then taken to the USA by Mr Biebel at some point later that year.

The car remained in the USA and had two more keepers in Santa Barbara California before it was exported to the UK in July 2010 and it was registered here on 25th May 2012. The car had 2 further owners before being purchased by the previous and local owner from Barnes, London in November 2015 and the car spent time at his apartment in Switzerland and his villa in Spain until he brought back to England in 2019.

We sold the car for him to the current owner who is long standing customer of Classic Chrome in 2019 and had the car here for a while before taking it to his main residence in Poland where it has been since 2020. It has not covered very many miles during his ownership at all, but it has been fully serviced by Mercedes Benz in Warsaw and he also had the alloy wheels refurbished with a new set of tyres fitted prior to sending it back to us to sell for him.

The car is finished in its original colour scheme of Champagne Gold Metallic with a full Brown Leather interior and comes with Rear Child Seats and seat belts, Dark Brown Mohair Soft Top, Factory body-coloured Hard Top, Passenger Door Mirror, Front Armrests, electric windows, Air Conditioning (although not currently connected), its original 2746cc straight six fuel injected Engine, 4 Speed Automatic Gearbox, Power Assisted Steering, ABS Brakes, and its original 15" Mercedes Alloy Wheels. It has also retained its USA specification twin headlights which really suit these cars.

The car does come with a comprehensive service history from new with lots of invoices from the USA, the UK and Mercedes Benz in both Spain and Switzerland and most recently in Poland and it is genuinely in exceptional condition both inside and out as our photographs show, with excellent body/paintwork, a beautiful leather interior and it drives superbly.

Upon sale, the car will be given a new MOT, pre sales service and it will come with our own 6 month mechanical warranty which can be upgraded and extended at additional cost if required.
