The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL from the R107 generation combines the elegant lines of the classic SL with the character of a six-cylinder engine and a manual transmission. Its timeless design, open-top driving experience, and unmistakable Mercedes-Benz styling make the R107 a highly appreciated classic today.




This example was first registered on 14 March 1985 and is finished in blue. The 2,746 cc engine is paired with a manual transmission. The indicated mileage is 124,614 km.




The car is in an older original condition. The bodywork is largely original and shows normal signs of use as well as a few scratches. The interior is nicely preserved in its original condition, and the soft top remains in good original condition. A hardtop is also included. The chassis number is original and clearly legible.




Technically, the car has been well maintained. The engine runs well, although adjustment is recommended, and some valve ticking can be heard. The clutch, gearbox, brakes, and handbrake all function properly.




Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an inspection report for this vehicle.
