Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 1985 (B)

The R107 generation of Mercedes SL has long been a favourite amongst collectors and those looking for a thoroughly good and usable classic roadster. Offered to market here is an enticing six cylinder car that can be seen to hold great potential. With some general TLC this could be a very smart open top Mercedes ready for the summer months, further benefitting from its impending historic status and thus tax and MOT exemption. Cosmetically the Mercedes looks to be in fair condition. With the classic red over cream colour combination being a favourite among collectors. This particular example does have some blemishing and bubbling making itself known in places, though a good polish could do wonders to bring some vibrancy back to the body. The inside is in similar form, highlighting signs of wear and tear commensurate with age and limited use. We have had the car turning over and running in its time with us however when running it does appear to leak fuel from the rear of the car. Limited use prior to our acquisition means a good going over would be advised prior to a return to the road. ***REGISTRATION FOR THE CAR IS B523 XBU***
