1982 Mercedes-Benz 280SL EUROPEAN Model
Here is the chance to own one of the most beautiful roadsters that Mercedes-Benz ever made -1982 Mercedes Benz 280SL roadster! What makes this SL special is that this is the TRUE EUROPEAN 6 Cylinder model, featuring more elegant and desirable short chrome European Bumpers, and square one piece European Headlights!!!
280SL was a special production model, and limited number of cars were produced each year from 1974 until 1985, as majority of its siblings produced were V8 models. Out of 237,287 R107’s ever producedONLY25,436 were 280SL’s, and after 30+ years of life number of 280SL's on the road today is much much smaller!!!
Even though being inline 6, the engine delivers as much power as the US version V8’s, and being lighter car, its much more nimble and fun to drive in the city and along the highway.
With its elegant and highly desirable color combination of Anthracite Grey Metallic exterior over Black leather Interior and the fact that this is true EUROPEAN 280SL, there is not a lot of R107 SL’s like this one on the road today!!
About the car:
