1981 MERCEDES 280 SL
Wonderfully Original
Same Owner Last 36Yrs

First registered & pre delivery inspected by MB Woking, Surrey 01.01.1982
this is a 2 previous owner specimen that has come direct from the same owner of the last 36 yrs. Mr T bought the car in 1989 from an antique dealer in Edinburgh for the sum of £16000 with the bill of sale and original advert within the paper file.
It has coverd a very low mileage of just over 105k and has been extremely
well serviced during Mr Ts tenure and always garaged using only in fair
weather. Complete with book pack and manuals and service booklet detaling an array of stamps. There are also three original keys and a red tool roll kit and warning triangle and jack.

Finished in Milan Brown with contrasting Pallonino-Dattel (Brown) half cloth
interior with wood veneer and a chocolate Brown convertible roof with detatachable hard top. The specification lends itself well now amid a market full of Silver & Red. The cosmetic conditon externally is superb with respect to all paint, rubber, chrome and lenses. The interior remains almost box fresh with a wonderful spring to the seat. Equally the engine and laod areas are found in truly excellent conditon for a vehicle of this age. Its a beautiful rust free car that is ready to be enjoyed.

Starts first time and drives superbly having been driven 30 miles back to base. A full MOT will be carried out despite the vehicle being classed as historic and therefore exempt from taxing and testing and is ulez free.
At time of testing all switchgear works as intended and the cruise control
also works on the highway.

The R107 series has firmly rooted iconic classic gran tourer status and
remains popular for its enduring quality and incredible styling. Very
little else is really built like this.
