Description
The 1980 Mercedes 280SL R107 stands as a quintessential example of German engineering and timeless design. TI Developments are delighted to present this stunning vehicle, which boasts a mere 53, 000 miles from new. Presented in its original colour specification of elegant silver coachwork with a complementary Navy Blue half-leather upholstery, this car is a testament to the craftsmanship of Mercedes-Benz. The interior is completed by Mercedes' signature tartan effect, adding a touch of classic charm.
The level of engineering that Mercedes-Benz achieved with the R107 model is arguably superior to many modern-day manufacturers. The quality is evident at first glance of the timeless styling, and even more so upon entering the cabin. Every detail of the 280SL R107 reflects the brand's dedication to producing vehicles of unmatched durability and elegance.
A notable feature of this R107 model is the removable hardtop roof, with the original Mercedes winch included. Furthermore, it boasts the rarely specified rear seat option, making it a versatile choice for both driving enthusiasts and collectors. This combination of practicality and luxury set the 280SL R107 apart from its contemporaries.
Throughout its lifetime, this particular 280SL R107 has had only four owners, each of whom has contributed to its excellent condition.
Despite its age, the car has only travelled 53, 000 miles. The original Mercedes handbooks are present and in immaculate condition, including the service book, which is a rare find for classic vehicles of this era.
The current owner has taken exceptional care of the vehicle, ensuring that various restoration works were carried out as needed. For instance, all new throttle linkage and bushes have been installed. Any surface corrosion was meticulously stripped back, and the entire underside was coated in top-quality protection to preserve the integrity of the car.
To provide peace of mind to potential buyers, a full service will be carried out upon sale, along with the issuance of a brand-new MOT. This ensures that the vehicle is in optimal condition and ready for its next chapter with a new owner.
We strongly feel that this is a fantastic opportunity for someone to obtain a highly original and well-looked-after classic.
