Specifications
[description]

This beautiful 1982 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is an outstanding example of the iconic R107 series, a model that remained in production for eighteen years and is beloved worldwide. This particular example was originally purchased by an American serviceman and was later shipped to the United States. What makes this car unique is its rare five-speed automatic transmission, which is a perfect match for the silky smooth running six-cylinder M110 engine.

European Specification and Outstanding Coloration

The car is finished in the original Signal Red color, a vibrant hue that is still mostly in its first paint and contrasts beautifully with the all-leather black interior. The body looks neat, with clean lines and a deep gloss that emphasizes the high quality of the paint. The distinctive Barock rims are in excellent condition and enhance the classic look of this SL. The ‘hidden production strip’, a rare remnant of production, is still present, emphasizing the authenticity of this example.

Low Mileage and Technically Perfect

This 280 SL has driven only 118,000 km (73,000 miles), an exceptionally low mileage for a car of this age. Documentation includes the original manuals and service booklets, as well as a detailed service history with invoices. Major maintenance was recently performed, including replacement of brake pads, front calipers and various suspension parts. These investments ensure that the car is ready for many more years of driving pleasure.

Driving as a Mercedes-Benz should be

Driving this SL is a unique experience. The five-speed manual transmission offers a wonderfully direct shift feel and ensures that the six-cylinder engine is used to its fullest potential. The M110 engine delivers a powerful, smooth performance with that signature Mercedes sound. The suspension feels solid and comfortable, exactly as you would expect from a top German model from the ’80s. The interior, fully upholstered in genuine black leather, is well cared for and exudes class and comfort. The original radio with cassette player adds a nostalgic element to the driving experience.

Excellent Documentation and Maintenance History

This Mercedes-Benz 280 SL comes with a ‘clean Carfax’, which means the car is free of any reported damage or problems. The extensive documentation shows the detailed maintenance history, including recent investments. This example has always been treated with care and has received the maintenance a car of this caliber deserves.
