You are looking at
the sale of this stunning Mercedes-Benz 280SL in a beautiful gold with
contrasting bronze hardtop roof. Although
the 280 was the baby of the SL range, it boasted an excellent blend of
performance and economy. Far more economical to run that its V8 siblings, its
smooth straight-six fuel injected engine produced 182bhp and 176lb/ft of
torque, enough to top 125mph and dash to 60mph from standstill in 10 seconds.

This 1985 SL was in single family ownership from
1994 until 2015 with just one owner since. An old MOT shows that it had covered
75,000 miles when acquired by the family, the odometer having now just passed
the 134,000 mile mark, an average of just 3,000 miles per year. It was
purchased new in Llanelli and stayed in wales all its life and still retains
its original main dealer front and rear number plates and rear window sticker.

The file includes a number of bills, along with
18 old MOTs, several insurance valuations and a handbook. The brakes and fuel
system have been overhauled whilst in the family and had its factory hardtop
resprayed in a stunning bronze which contrasts against the gold body work with
aplomb. The hood is in outstanding condition and the car is MOTd until April
2018 with no advisories recorded.

It
starts runs and drives superb with a very responsive engine and lovely smooth
auto-gearbox. It’s surprisingly good on fuel and gets looks and comments where
ever it goes and being the 2.8 ,6 cylinder is powerful yet economical and very
easy to work on.

280SL Spec

Full Cream leather
interior

Alloy wheels

Power steering

Electric windows

2 x keys

Original Mercedes
handbook.

Very expensive and
recently fitted clarion radio cd with Bluetooth capability

The Alloy wheels are
stunning and in my opinion the most iconic of the Mercedes wheels. The tyres
are all good with plenty of tread all around.

The Condition of the
car is excellent for its age, its spent many years only being used as a weekend
summer car and not used at all in bad weather. Garaged the whole time right up
to present and regularly hand washed

The removable
hardtop is original to the car and still retains its original main dealer
sticker that matches the number plates it’s been painted to a very high
standard in a stunning colour of ford roman bronze and is easily removed. The
fabric softop that lives under the hood trim is easily accessible and goes up
and down with ease, The fabric is in excellent condition with lovely clear
plastic panels that are easy to see through and the top is fully waterproof.   

The interior is in
very good condition and looks stunning, the seats are perfect as are the carpets
with Lovely head-lining and center console making the cabin a lovely place to
be.

VIEWING HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WELCOMED

To sum up this is a Very rare and desirable car that is
very reliable and wants for nothing. It’s got the power to embarrass most
modern sports cars but remains sensible to run with low road and is eligible
for classic car insurance obviously.

It’s now quite an old car over 30 years old so if kept in
this condition will only go up and up in value and will guaranteed to be sought
after in the future.
