Description

This 1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a European-market example that was originally sold in Germany and imported to Belgiuim in 1996 by the previous owner. The car is finished in metallic gray over beige leather and is powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a body-color removable hardtop, a black soft top, 14″ Bundt wheels, European-specification bumpers, dual-zone climate control, and a AM/FM cassette stereo. This R107 is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with import documents, service records and a clean French title in the owner’s name.

The car is finished in Anthracite Gray Metallic (172U) and features a body-color removable hardtop and a black soft top. Additional exterior details include new European-market bumpers, fog lights, a retractable antenna, and chrome trim.

Silver 14″ Bundt wheels are wrapped in 195/70 Michelin Defender tires. The car is equipped with four-wheel disc brakes, and service in January 2020 included replacing the rear brake hoses.

The cabin features gray leather bucket seats along with a matching lower dashboard, door panels, and carpets. The dashboard and center console are accented with burl wood trim, and amenities include a locking glovebox, dual-zone climate control, cruise control, power windows, air conditioning, and a Becker AM/FM/cassette stereo.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, instant fuel economy, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 139k kilometres.

The 2.8-liter M110 inline-six features Bosch fuel injection and was factory rated at 185 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. The front subframe mounts were replaced in 2015, and recent service reportedly included replacing a fuel line and changing the engine oil, rear differential oil, and power steering fluid.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The driveshaft flex disc was replaced in October 2015.
