1985 Mercedes Benz R107 280SL with Brazil Leather (273)

Light Ivory (623) with Brazil Leather (273) / 280SL

Principal Facts:

A very usable 280SL with some desirable options, in a rare and interesting colour combination. A nice late version of the early cars, complete with ‘Mexican hat’ alloy wheels and air conditioning, it will be granted ‘historic’ status next year making it MOT, Road Tax and, crucially, ULEX exempt.

Condition Synopsis:

This well cared for and honest car presents well with some room for cosmetic improvements. Sadly the Becker Mexico as specified in the data card is missing, but the new owner can console themselves with the presence of the wood gear knob, a nice aftermarket addition. SLSHOP have recently completed a full bulkhead restoration meaning this car is solid, and ready for its next adventure.

History File:

Accompanying the car is a detailed service history file, including the original service book which shows a lifetime of careful maintenance. We have no doubt that the silky smooth six cylinders will continue on for another hundred thousand miles with one very happy owner at the wheel of this rare and desirable classic.

SLSHOP Summary:

Air Conditioning, Outside Temperature Gauge, Folding Arm Rest. Light ivory with brazil leather is a rare combination, and the options and history file all point to this car being owned by some well heeled individuals throughout the 1980s and 1990s…! The stereotypical SL owner who ticks all the options.

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?
