Signal Red with Beige Fabric / 280 SL

£36,995

Principal Facts:

1981 Mercedes-Benz 280SL (R107)

*Potential LEZ ,TAX and MOT free in 2021*

Signal Red (568) with Beige Sports Check Interior (035) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001)

60,560 miles

This all original early SL looks as good today as it did leaving the factory in 1981. With just 3 previous owners spanning it’s 60,560 mile history, the car is present with all original books and extensive paperwork.

Still with a complete set of matching hub caps, this Signal Red looks every inch the icon of the late 1970s. A fantastic chance to acquire an early car in what is arguably the most desirable 107 SL colour.

Purchased new by Mr R, it remained under his stewardship from 1981 until 2006. There are many, many receipts and documents on file including a 24,000 mile service receipt from 1986. The service record indicates that the car was stored from 1994 to 2001.

Over the last 18 years the car has covered a mere 6,000 miles and been carefully maintained.

Finding an early car in good condition is difficult, but to find one with documents dating back to the 1980s is virtually impossible.

INDUSTRY TRUSTED

I have followed SLSHOP with interest for some years now and recently took the plunge and purchased my dream car – they did not disappoint!
The whole experience from start to finish was superb. Their communication was excellent and they kept me
informed every step of the way. Thank you and I look forward to my next purchase!

I have just purchased a 280SL from SLSHOP. I have already purchased several parts from SLSHOP and have found all members of staff most helpful and it is more like dealing with a club than a commercial enterprise I would highly recommend using SLSHOP for cars, parts and most importantly impartial advice.

They put up with my indecision, inexperience and last minute demands and my car is the best thing I’ve ever bought. The most impressive thing about them is the after care though. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they’ve given me the best advice to make sure I get the most out of my car. Can you tell I’m obsessed with them all?
