Description
Introducing my stunning Topaz Brown Mercedes SL 280, featuring the iconic straight-six engine paired with a factory-original manual gearbox.
This exceptionally rare example is a low-mileage, low-owner vehicle, presented in immaculate condition. Finished in its original, period-correct paint, it stands as a beautifully preserved and cherished SL. This SL has matching numbers.
The car spent an impressive 48 years with its previous owner, and was loved since new. I acquired it specifically for a continental road trip, which has since been completed. Now, it’s time for a new owner to experience and enjoy this remarkable vehicle.
It was important to me to find a solid & honest vehicle. Having had plenty of classic cars in the past that you can't rely on, extensive time and money went into finding the perfect SL for my journey through the South of France and Capri. I purchased this car immediately after its release from storage by Classic Benz, who can fully vouch for its outstanding condition. Additionally, it has passed a full health check at Aston Martin Wilmslow on 25/ 07/ 24 and has been recently serviced and MOT'd, despite being MOT-exempt.
If you are in search of an original, rust-free, and highly reliable SL, look no further. This car has just covered over 5, 000 miles through Europe without a single glitch. It underwent thorough inspections before departure and upon my return. The vehicle has also been professionally ceramic-coated and paint-corrected by Lloyd’s, who confirmed that it retains its original paint with no prior repairs.
This Mercedes truly needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. I’m happy to accommodate viewings for any serious inquiries.
For modern-day usability, the vehicle has been fitted with an SL SHOP Blaupunkt radio, while the original cassette radio has been preserved. It also comes with the original spare "Mexican Hat" alloy, complete with an unused factory tire from 1975.
I have a wealth of images, videos, and history documenting this vehicle. For serious inquiries, please contact me via WhatsApp at the details below, and I will gladly provide all the information you need.
I am based in Prestbury, Cheshire and available at your convenience
