When Mercedes-Benz bring out a new SL roadster, you can be sure that the model range is going to be around for a very long time. Not only will the SL remain virtually unchanged in Mercedes dealers showrooms for several years, but also examples will be seen being driven and enjoyed on the roads of the world for many decades after that.
When launched in 1971, the more substantial, more distinguished looking 280SL was nonetheless an even more effective high speed motorway express than before. Additional 350 and 450SLs, powered by S Class motors, were added to the catalogue and, with this shape, the SL continued well into the 1980s, albeit with different options.
Manufactured in Stuttgart in 1981, this righthand drive 280SL with the benefit of both soft and hardtop had only one lady owner until four years ago when acquired by the vendor. The open bodyshell has been completely overhauled with many panels renewed. Following recent storage, the paintwork in grey and blue metallic is described as being currently in superb condition. The blue interior with radio-cassette player is said also to be good and the hood as new.
