This 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL Roadster has been kept completely stock and has had a re-spray done within the last 5 years. The vehicle has had substantial mechanical work done to keep it up to par some of which are highlighted below:

  • Check functioning of all gauges
  • Rebuilt gearbox for tight shifting
  • Check of suspension
  • Thorough check of engine - runs flawless with excellent compression

Notes: I have the original hood emblem that I will re-install as the fastener came loose. I will also be adding some pictures of the undercarriage and engine bay.

that This 280SL Roadster reveals an incredible upkeep of the interior. All upholstery is in excellent shape. Interior dash is very clean. The engine bay is in excellent shape.

The value of these cars are rising quickly and here is a chance to get a low-mileage vehicle for a reasonable cost. Reserve has been kept low. I have to unfortunately part with it as I am at the point that I need empty my garage as I do not have the time to enjoy this amazing car as much as I would like to.
