This 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL has a rich history that began in France, where the car was originally registered. Later, the vehicle moved to the United States, and eventually made its way to the Netherlands. Part of Mercedes-Benz's iconic SL series, the 280 SL is known for its combination of elegance and sporty performance. This generation of the SL, produced from 1971 to 1989, has a timeless appeal and remains a popular choice among car enthusiasts and collectors.
Technically, the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was equipped with a powerful six-cylinder engine, which provided a smooth driving experience. Designed with attention to detail, the car offered an excellent balance between comfort and sportiness. The convertible configuration allowed drivers to enjoy open driving, with a sturdy and stylish design that reflected the brand's character. In this particular car, however, the roof release works a bit stiffly, which may indicate the need for a minor adjustment.
The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was often praised for its quality and craftsmanship, characteristics that have characterized the brand over the years. The car has a valid MOT until January 30, 2027, which adds to its reliability for the future owner. To get a good idea of the lot, we recommend coming to the viewing day.
