The Mercedes-Benz SL (Sport Leicht) has been in production since
1954 with perhaps the most influential model being the W113 Pagoda
of 1963. This second generation evolved from the 230SL to 250SL. br/>finally becoming the 280SL. The W113 was replaced by the W107 in
1971 and. as the engines became larger. the bodywork and weight of
the cars also increased - as often happens in mid-life! The
SL improved through the years with technical innovation but still
managed to keep its fundamental character and identity of an
up-market. quality sports car. Its reputation went from
strength to strength and it was rare to see an episode of Dallas or
Dynasty in the 1980's without an SL making a star appearance. The
genius soft-top mechanism which folds down out of sight under a
panel ahead of the boot lid gave the car a beautifully sleek. br/>uncluttered appearance.

Offered with beautiful and almost unmarked red coachwork. br/>complemented by a near flawless biscuit trim. this great 280SL
Roadster has covered just over 60. 00 miles from new and has
benefitted from a wealth of recent work which we are told includes
a gearbox re-build and re-adjustment of the timing giving us an
example that is ready for the summer and hopefully hours of
motoring enjoyment. Accompanied by a valid MoT test certificate. a
history file including recent services and a wealth of old MoT test
certificates verifying the mileage and original owner's manual. br/>this plucky 280 is a pleasure to drive with its lighter nose and
should. in our opinion. see significant investment potential for
years to come with other similar models on offer at double the
price.
