Mercedes Benz 280SL R107, first registered 1985, 2717cm3, 136kW / 185PS
-- German vehicle --
Pure SL enjoyment
As the successor to the "Pagoda", known internally as the W113, the R107 had a demanding legacy to live up to. It appeared with the small 8-cylinder engine as the 350SL as early as 1971 and remained in the lineup for 18 years with numerous model updates -- clear evidence of its high engineering potential.
Over the course of these 18 years of production, it was available with 6- and 8-cylinder engines in a wide variety of engine configurations, from the 280SL (1974 - 1985) to the 560SL (from 1985). Our 280SL was first registered on 17 January 1985. It is therefore one of the last 280SL models and already features the virtually maintenance-free and economical Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system. Its six-cylinder engine with twin overhead camshafts produces a strong 185 PS, meaning the 280SL has no need to hide even from the 8-cylinder models in the series.
It responds spontaneously to every throttle input and delivers strong acceleration in every gear -- all more directly and unfiltered than in a 500SL or 560SL.Our 280 SL in Smoke Silver metallic is in its original condition. The quality of the bodywork and paintwork is impressive. All lines and panel gaps are correct, and the surfaces of all body panels are just as they were from the factory. Overall, there are only a few signs of use, which in no way detract from the vehicle's appearance. The car was obviously very well cared for and used carefully.
The original Fuchs alloy wheels (baroque wheels) have been professionally refurbished and suit the SL exceptionally well -- particularly in combination with the installed H&R wheel spacers, which give the SL a subtly more substantial stance, similar to the facelift models from 1985 onwards.
The interior has been preserved in its original condition and is likewise in the best condition: seat cushions and upholstery, door panels, dashboard, wood trim, carpets -- everything is in remarkable condition, far removed from what one would expect of an automobile over 40 years old.
Both the hardtop and soft top are also in perfect condition.
The 280 SL was ordered by its first owner with a range of useful extras:
420 Automatic transmission
440 Cruise control
470 ABS anti-lock braking system
504 Electrically adjustable right-hand exterior mirror
532 Automatic antenna
570 Folding armrest
583 Power windows
590 Heat-insulating glass
640 Alloy wheels
746 Dark brown soft-top fabric
We hand over the 280SL ready for the road with German documents, a valid general inspection (07/28), historic vehicle appraisal and a Classic Data short valuation for your insurance.
We will be happy to make you an attractive offer for transporting it to your home.
