Stunning original color combination of Dark Red over Tobacco.
Previous owner inherited this 280SL from his father who purchased
the car new. All original documents, service receipts, books and
manuals included. Extremely well maintained with a pile of service
history. Repaint in 2025 due to fading. Everything works as it
should. Cold AC, four wheel disc brakes and power steering. Runs
and drives flawlessly. No rust - now or ever.
The 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is the final and most refined year of
the iconic W113 "Pagoda" series. Blending sports car performance
with luxurious grand touring comfort, it features a timeless
slab-sided design, a powerful 2.8-liter inline-6 engine, and a
distinctive concave removable hardtop
The 1971 model marks the culmination of the W113 generation before
it was replaced by the V8-powered R107. It remains an
internationally coveted collector's car, highly prized for its
reliable drivability, ease of ownership, and unmistakable
mid-century aesthetic.
This vehicle was issued a North Carolina VIN on the Title due to a
clerical error. The actual VIN appears on the car correctly and I
am working to get the title updated to remove the NC issued VIN and
replace it with the correct VIN.
