1970 Mercedes Benz 280SLI recently acquired this SL out of long term ownership. As you can see from the title. the previous owner purchased this 280sl in 1986 and it resided in lovely Brickel Key (Miami). Florida since 1986. This 280sl can be prepared to a driver level rather easily or is an excellent base for a full Concours restoration. It's a nice. honest original car down to the original owner's manual/books and even the original Hirschmann antenna. The 280sl starts (see. video) and lot drives well. I would suggest a full tune up and fluid/filter service as a starting point to address any mechanical needs. Cosmetically. the 280sl is fairly solid and would benefit from a bare metal respray. Most of the bright work should polish nicely. The seats. door panels and dash are all usable; a thorough cleaning and new carpet would make for a respectable driver. I would suggest replacing the softtop canvas as it is relatively inexpensive and fresh paint would warrant as much. This 280SL is Highlighted by the Following Options:426 - Desirable Automatic Transmission and Power Steering491 - U. S. Version503 - Outside Rear View Mirror.

I consider this an excellent 280sl to perform a improve to a driver level or restore to factory standards! Either way. this 280sl is a solid investment and a great opportunity to enter into the SL market at a reasonable price point. **I reserve the right to end the auction early****If you are serious about buying. please bid early and let me know you're a serious buyer**WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AND PORSCHE AVAILABLE!I can assist with shipping worldwide (major European Ports $1. 50-$1. 00).
