1981 Mercedes Benz 280 SLC Auto RHD For Sale

This absolutely immaculate, totally original, rust-free, accident-free and properly maintained car is a must for those who collect decent SLC C116 cars of the era.

To some the colour is very different from the boring silver, gold, green offerings which were commomly chosen - however the brilliant YELLOW is reportedly the safest colour car to drive.

The interior of the cabin matches well to the coachwork colour, is almost new in appearance CREAM Leather seats with matching Cream wool carpeting with over-mats and other cream panels. The general ambience and luxury is aided by the solid "clunk" when you close the door, air conditioning, tinted "Sundym" glass, electric door mirror/ s, electric door windows, electric steel sunroof, electrically heated rear backlight (window)and the original Becker AM/ FM Casstte head unit. Everything is operative per ex-factory.

The 2. 8L straight-six engine delivers smooth power and performance via the equally smooth changing automatic transmission. This car is quite simply a pleasure to drive in town - courtesy of power steering - and on the open road she just wafts along at speed. Certainly far more frugal than the V8-engined derivatives.

This car has been cherished by a single owner from new and only changed hands for the first time last year. During the intervening 38 years she has only driven 151, 715 kilometres -some 94, 301 miles to date. The overall magnificent appearance of this car readily confirms this mileage.

Of late maintenance wise she has been fitted with new stainless steel exhaust system. new distributor and new fuel sender unit - obviously along with a comprehensive service regime. This car sold on the basis of great confindence in the description as stated.

The purchase price, being that the car is in South Africa includes the seamless service of shipping and properly importing the car to the UK.

These cars in RHD format and this condition rarely come to the market nowadays and are rapidly gaining in value in recent years. A solid luxury car and equally solid investment.

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 ...
