The Steyr assembled G-Wagon has been marketed for longer than any other Mercedes-Benz product, however in second place comes the evergreen W107 series SL.

Launched in 1971 and following on from the beautiful “Pagoda” top SL, it was to remain in production for a full 18 years before the more angular and wedge shape 129 series came along. Initially launched with a 3.5 litre V8, it wasn’t long before more engine options were added.

The 280SL arrived in 1974, using a 182bhp 2.8-litre fuel injected straight-six engine which lasted until 1985 when it was increased in capacity to 3-litres in the 300SL. It may have been the baby of the range but the 280SL still packed a punch, scooting to 60mph in 9.6 seconds with a top speed of 125mph. With classic good looks and that legendary Mercedes build quality, it is still highly sought after today.

First registered in October 1982, this silver 280SL has been in the current ownership since 2011 but has been little used during that time. We are told that the car has covered some 130,500 miles and that it comes with an extensive service history and a folder of receipts.

Said to be in good running order and in reasonable condition for its age, it is only reluctantly for sale due to the advancing years of the owner who has not been in a position to get it MOTd in time for the sale.

At the time of cataloguing we had not been able to inspect the car or its documents and interested parties are invited to do so before they make their bids.
