Used 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280-Class

1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL This lovely 280SL is finished in factory-specified Signal Red over Black and is complete with a removable Pagoda hard top, black soft top, tool kit, owner's manual set, and spare tire. The desirable factory options include: (249) Heated Rear Glass in Hard Top, (426) Floor Shift Automatic and Power Steering, (491) US Model, (593) Heat Insulating Glass (all around), and (515) Becker Europa radio. This is a nice running and driving late-production SL that has benefitted from regular servicing, maintenance, and sorting since being purchase by the consignor five years ago. The engine is original to the car and the 2.8L is making the torque expected for spirited cruising. The Signal Red paintwork shows well and has minimal flaws. The interior trim is in good shape overall. The carpets are quite new and look great. The black soft top is showing some age, but with a painted-to match hardtop on hand, it's really only for emergencies. This is an excellent opportunity to buy a well-sorted driver without breaking the bank.
