1983 Mercedes-Benz 280-Class

Vehicle Description

Offered here is a beautifully kept 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, finished in a timeless deep blue over a beige interior with checkered cloth inserts. This example captures the understated elegance and solid engineering that made the R107 generation a lasting icon.

The exterior shows very well with clean body lines, proper panel fitment, and bright chrome trim. The European-spec touches, including the slim bumpers and headlamps, give it a more refined look compared to its U.S. counterparts. The car sits on period-correct alloy wheels wrapped in healthy tires, giving it a strong, classic presence on the road.

Inside, the cabin is equally impressive. The beige upholstery with plaid cloth inserts offers a vintage feel while remaining in excellent condition. The wood trim is rich and glossy, and everything from the dash to the carpets presents nicely. It’s also equipped with a rare 5-speed manual transmission, making this a more engaging driver than the more common automatics.

This 280SL runs and drives well, with recent maintenance keeping it ready for weekend cruising or regular enjoyment. Whether you're a collector, an enthusiast, or someone simply looking for a timeless convertible with style and charm, this Mercedes makes a compelling case.
