This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a black-on-gray European-market example that was imported to the US and subsequently remained with one owner for approximately 30 years before the selling dealer acquired it in 2023. Power is provided by a 2.7-liter inline-six mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, and the car is equipped with 14″ Bundt alloy wheels, a replacement black convertible soft top, power windows, automatic climate control, and a Boss AM/FM/CD stereo. This Euro-market R107 is now offered with a clean Carfax report and a clean Ohio title.
The car is finished in black and features a replacement black convertible soft top, fog lights, dual side mirrors, chrome bumpers, and polished aluminum trim.
The 14″ Bundt alloy wheels are mounted with 195/70 Michelin Harmony tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel power-assisted disc brakes.
The bucket seats were reupholstered in gray leather in December 2023, and the cabin features color-coordinated carpeting and door panels. Woodgrain trim accents the dashboard and center stack, and amenities include automatic climate control, power windows, a lockable glovebox, and a Boss AM/FM/CD stereo.
The four-spoke steering wheel frames a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline and an inset analog clock as well as a 160-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, instant fuel economy, and fuel level. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 45k miles. The speedometer has been replaced with a US version, therefore true mileage is unknown.
The 2.7-liter M110 DOHC inline-six features Bosch fuel injection and was rated at 185 horsepower when new.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other damage and lists history in Ohio from an initial entry in March 2010.
