You are looking at my 1981 Mercedes 280SL which I have owned for the last 8 years.
Thistle green with beige Karo interior
Tax and MOT exempt. Registered as a Historic vehicle.
ULEZ & CONGESTION ZONE EXEMPT so you can drive around in London free of charge!
Service history with previous receipts etc V5C present and in my name.
Hpi clear.
I have just spent £1400 on a major service just completed by HA Lock including 6 x new fuel injectors. Fuel pump, hoses, Oil and filter change, New battery etc. Please see invoice for details.
If you know about Mercedes Benz. The specialist who personally worked on the car is 84 years old and a renowned expert with older Mercedes hence my sending the car to him.
The car drives without fault. Starts first time. Everytime!
During my ownership. I have have owned the car.
I had a full body repaint along with replacement genuine Mercedes Benz bumpers etc.
Car also comes with the matching hard top worth £2000+ as its rust free.
No rust in the floors, sills, arches or bulkhead as a result of it being stored away from the elements. and previous restoration work and repaint.
Car also comes with a spare green hood and frame included in the sale circa £600 plus.
The original brown colour hood is in good condition. I wanted a green one to match the exterior.
Just felt it looked more cohesive colour wise with a dark green hood.
The chrome trims for the seat belts are included and they clip on and the fan switch is temperamental.
I have another one but not had a chance to fit it yet.
I took it out yesterday but it started raining so had to put it away before it got wet!! So you can tell how much I love the car!
Hopefully from the pictures you can see the car is in good condition and a nice daily driver if you wanted to use it that way.
Car is located in the Bedford MK44 area if you wanted to view or test drive.
You are more than welcome to inspect it to your satisfaction as its garaged and under its protective cover.
The just come back from the specialist and was raving about how nicely the car drove which is nice to hear from someone with 60 years of experience with these cars.
Only reason I am selling it to buy another R107, a 300SL this time! once I have found a suitable car
Any questions or if you wish to come and view it.
Thanks.
