About this Mercedes-Benz SL Series

Supplied new by Mercedes dealer Europa Cars in Sheffield and first registered on 16th April 1982 this beautiful Mercedes Benz R107 Series 280SL Automatic Convertible is finished in the lovely Mercedes Silver Blue Metallic with a Blue check cloth interior including rear child seats, Blue carpets and trim, wood veneer Centre Consul, Blue Mohair Soft Top, 2.8 Litre Fuel injected Engine, Automatic Transmission, Power Assisted Steering, Factory Hard Top, period Pioneer Stereo/Cassette with electric aerial, Remote Central Locking and its original Steel Wheels with full face colour coded wheel trims.

This car has only had two former keepers from new, the first being the supplying dealer in Sheffield, the second a Mr Meadowcroft from Halifax who bought it in March 1983 and the current owner a Mr Peter Dion from Radcliffe on Trent who bought it in October 1988. He has now owned the car for 33 years this year and it has only covered a genuine 46,882 miles from new with a comprehensive service history and it has been maintained by Mercedes Benz dealer B & K Thomas Ltd in Nottingham during his ownership with the last service being carried out by them in May 2018 @ 46,525 miles. Since then it has been stored in his garage and hardly used apart from being taken for an MOT in 2019 and 2020 and it has only covered 357 miles since its last service!

The car did have work to the sills and and a new rear valance + a lower half repaint back in 1991 and the car really still is in beautiful condition throughout with no rust in any of the usual places and it does not have any of the bulkhead issues that some of these models can suffer from due to the fact that it has been very well cared for and garaged for all of its life.

Upon sale the car will be given a new MOT and lubrication service and it will come with our own 6 Month Mechanical Warranty which can be upgraded and extended at additional cost if required.

This really is a great car to drive and it will certainly be a good investment as prices of these early R107 series SL's are rising steadily.It will also have some nice publicity to go with its history, as it was recently used by a film company for a Kylie Minogue pop video and had a part in a yet to be released film.
