From its introduction at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1963, the W113-generation SL-Class proved to a hit for the storied German automaker. More of a successor to the 4-cylinder 190 SL rather than the exclusive 300 SL, the 230 SL (250 and 280 variants were released over time to improve performance) featured styling by Paul Bracq and the build quality expected from the brand. Naturally, the car became an instant classic, offering long-lasting charm to critics and collectors alike. With ever more comfort and safety, each variant of the W113 SL quickly won over the hearts of celebrities and other notable owners over its production run between 1963 and 1971.
The exquisite 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Roadster featured here is finished in classic Silver Metallic over a Black interior with a matching folding convertible top and a body-color removable hardtop. Fitted from the factory with essentially every available option including rare Frigiking air conditioning, this investment-grade, has been meticulously maintained from new and had never left the state of California until our acquisition. Over the years, I’ve owned more 280 SL Roadsters than any one individual in the country and I can say with certainty this is, without question, one of the nicest original, well-preserved examples I have seen. We are proud to offer this numbers-matching original California 280 SL Roadster to the most sophisticated investor, collector, or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the investment potential of this iconic motorcar!
