About this Mercedes-Benz SL Series

DEPOSIT TAKEN - 25/06/2022

The R107-series SL was unveiled in 1971, presenting luxury-hungry buyers with stylish interiors, bigger engines and sharper, more contemporary bodywork. Mercedes-Benz’s renowned build quality quickly becomes apparent from the moment you close the door with a satisfying clunk. The 107 chassis was also an incredibly long-lived member of the Mercedes-Benz family, remaining in production until 1989.

After five decades, the R107 SL is still a very fashionable and desirable car, so prices have remained strong and increased significantly in the last couple of years, so find a good example and you should have a surefire investment in the long term.

This beautiful 280SL was supplied new by Mercedes dealer Westway Garage (Hull) Ltd and first registered on 1st October 1982. It is finished in its original colour scheme of Signal Red with a Black/Grey Cloth interior, Black carpets, Black Mohair Soft top, factory Hard Top in Signal Red, Radio/CD Player, 2746cc straight Six Fuel injected Engine, 4 Speed Automatic Transmission,
Cruise Control, Electric Windows, Electric Passenger Door Mirror, front Spot Lights and its original 14" Steel Wheels with colour coded Wheel Trims.
