Description
Vehicle story
According to the data-card, this 280 SL was delivered new in January 1971 through the official Mercedes distributor in Aachen, Germany. The car always stayed in Germany. From 1994 until 2006 the car was owned by a Mr. Riviera from Heidenheim, Germany. In 2006, this Mercedes was sold to another enthusiast in Leipzig, Germany. This gentlemen kept the car until 2023. He spent a lot of money on the car which is clear in the documentation file.
The current owner decided to bring the car to the best possible quality and spent another 75.000 Euro,- on the car. No expenses were spared. In 2025, among other things, the engine has been rebuilt and the engine compartment has thoroughly been cleaned. Many components such as the shock absorbers, bumpers, chrome strips etc. were renewed. The interior was taken apart and the carpet has been renewed as well as the convertible top cover.
The result is a top level Mercedes Benz 280 SL.
With the car comes a hardtop in matching colour which is quite elegant. This 280 SL has been fitted with a factory replacement engine or ‘Tauschmotor’ which was quite common with these 6 cilinder engines. The car comes with German (EEC) papers.
Now at a special spring price! Euro 132.750,-.
