Mercedes-Benz SL 280 for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.05) based on 297 votes
The 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and continued in production through 23 February 1971. Over the years. the W 113 evolved from a sports car into a comfortable grand tourer. Manual transmission models came with the standard 4-speed or the optional ZF 5-speed. which was ordered only 882 times and thus is a highly sought-after original option today.

The main change was an upgrade to the 2. 78 cc M130 engine with 170 hp) maximum power and 180 lb·ft maximum torque. which finally gave the W 113 adequate power. The performance improvement was achieved by increasing bore by 0. 2 in. which stretched the limits of the M180 block. and required pairwise cylinder casts without cooling water passages. This mandated an oil-cooler. which was fitted vertically next to the radiator. Each engine was now bench-tested for two hours prior to being fitted. so their power specification was guaranteed at last.

The vendor states that this Mercedes 280 SL came from a Private Collection. This is a very nice solid example which has been in very dry storage for a long time and has never seen rain. The interior is like new condition. and the Soft Top is very good. The car also comes with a very nice matching Hard Top. The car starts. runs and drives very well indeed.
