European Mercedes-Benz 280 SL
With the R107, Mercedes-Benz introduced an SL model in 1971 that would remain in production for nearly eighteen years—a feat almost unparalleled in the automotive world. This robust, elegant roadster became a symbol of understated luxury and remains one of the brand’s most cherished classics today. This 1987 280 SL belongs to the later, refined R107 series and is an original European-specification model. Under the hood lies a 2.8-liter, fuel-injected, six-cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts, producing 185 hp and paired with a smooth automatic transmission. The vehicle’s mileage of 102,652 km is documented and verified via the official Belgian "Car-Pass." The current owner has held the car for ten years and ensured regular maintenance, as evidenced by an extensive file containing service invoices and the original brochure.
The grey metallic paintwork accentuates the clean lines of the R107, lending it a stylish appearance that perfectly complements the character of this SL. A major plus is the original, body-colored hardtop—complete with a storage rack—which makes the car suitable for use in any season. The vehicle also comes fully equipped: the original tool kit, jack, spare wheel, wind deflector, and two sets of keys are all included. Inside, you will find a light-blue interior in neat, well-maintained condition, featuring the highly sought-after optional armrest, climate control, power windows, central locking, and a Becker radio. The combination of the light-blue interior and the grey exterior paint creates a cool, sophisticated look—quintessential 1980s style—that lends this SL a sense of calm, classic elegance. With the top down, it’s the perfect car for a relaxed cruise—this 280 SL was built for exactly that.
