Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 1968

The magnificent 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous dark grey (172) over a black leather interior with a black folding convertible soft top. 
This exquisite motorcar has been beautifully restored 4 years ago, drove over 4000 km after restoration without trouble and is now ready to be shown or driven. The car has a matching numbers 6 inline cilinder engine (2778 cc - 170 HP) and features a manual 5 BMW gearbox offering much more sporty driving pleasure. The car comes with its datacard and plenty of pictures from the thorough and careful restoration works. 
Having US roots, the car was restored to European standards.
The 280 SL is the last, and arguably best, variant of the venerable W113-generation SL-Class. A worthy successor to the W121 190 SL, the W113 returned to an inline six-cylinder and featured a stunning body designed by Paul Bracq. Much as with previous SLs, one could have both hard and soft tops fitted to their cars to enable year-round motoring in comfort, style, and, increasingly, safety. The hardtops, with a slightly concave appearance, gave the W113 the nickname, “Pagoda”, and, combined with the car’s easy-to-drive character the model became an instant classic beloved by celebrities and enthusiasts alike.
The car is ready for immediate use
