1984 280 SL R107 in excellent condition SOLD

1984 Mercedes 280SL in excellent condition benefiting from a recent extensive body restoration.
This car had been in storage for some time and proved to be in a very solid and sound condition mechanically and structurally however had some of the common body related rust issues around one of the rear wheel arches and trim fixing areas and front wing.
Following a thorough inspection the car was found to be very solid complete with sound bulkhead(See photos. There were a number of minor dents all of which have been professionally removed. Following the replacement of one of the rear arches with a metal replacement panel and a new front wing the car has benefitted from a professional full body respray in the original light ivory as this was the only way to be sure of a full colour match. The body was fully prepared with all minor dents removed along with the necessary trim. The car was then finished in several coats of direct gloss paint to be consistent with the original finish.
The interior is in very good condition with no wear to seat fabric
Soft top replaced with new by previous owner and in very good condition with no damage
Detachable hard top in good condition and in matching light ivory colour with trolly stand. Top release cable replaced with new to prevent release pin failing to operate and making removal of hard and soft tops very difficult without damaging chrome trim(common R107 fault)
Original floor mats in good condition
The car has currently covered approximately 110, 000 miles. The previous owner had a replacement reconditioned engine installed by the reputable Mercedes specialist Crew Engines at 93, 278 miles.
The car starts on the button and drives very smoothly benefiting from improved handling from wider tyres and Monroe shocks.
Following expensive re-chroming of some components new rubber door and window seals have been replaced and all body trim reinstalled.

A very different driving experience than a 300 SL – way better with the wonderful V8 burble – so, better than a 300 and cheaper than a 500.

My Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9 which I have owned for over 10 years. Very low ownership as I am effectively the second owner; many 6.9s, sadly, ended up in the hands of people who didn’t look after them as they did become relatively cheap and ended in the wrong hands. Not Ralf. I bought him as my company car when I moved ...

In March 1962, Mercedes-Benz released the exclusive two-door M189-powered 300SE. Like the 300 saloon, it was based on the W111 chassis but shared both Daimler's top-range 2996 cm3 fuel-injected engine and the unique W112 chassis designation, efforts on Mercedes' part to distance it from the maker's modest W110 and W111 ...
