This lovely 280SL is finished in factory-specified Signal Red over
Black and is complete with a removable "Pagoda" hard top, black
soft top, tool kit, owner's manual set, and spare tire. The
desirable factory options include: (249) Heated Rear Glass in Hard
Top, (426) Floor Shift Automatic and Power Steering, (491) US
Model, (593) Heat Insulating Glass (all around), and (515) Becker
Europa radio.
This is a nice running and driving late-production SL that has
benefitted from regular servicing, maintenance, and sorting since
being purchase by the consignor five years ago. The engine is
original to the car and the 2.8L is making the torque expected for
spirited cruising. The Signal Red paintwork shows well and has
minimal flaws. The interior trim is in good shape overall. The
carpets are quite new and look great. The black soft top is showing
some age, but with a painted-to match hardtop on hand, it's really
only for emergencies. This is an excellent opportunity to buy a
well-sorted driver without breaking the bank.
