THIS IS A 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL. EBAY would not recognize the VIN unless I listed as Pre-1981. I have a full carfax report upon request.
This is is the one everyone wishes to stumble upon. This car is a once in a lifetime find. Over $22k in Maintenance Records!! European-market example that was initially delivered in Germany and imported to the US in 1985. One (Family) Owner car! This car has always been garaged & covered and only taken out on perfect summer days for leisure trips to the beautiful, Long Island beaches and towns. This car has been professionally maintained its entire life; no expenses spared. Complete with the Official Service book (See pics) with documented service records from 2006 to present. Its early life was cared for by Hans, of F&I Fuel Injection, followed by Louis of Gullwing Motors in Mineola Long Island. All maintenance records have been retained and are available to the new owner. This car WILL NOT be sold to any dealerships, or Flippers trying to make a profit. This Mercedes has an extraordinary story and magnificent history. It needs to be cared for by someone who will appreciate it for the next chapter of its life.

This R107 shows 150KM (93k Miles) and is now offered in Long Island NY with all service records, a hardtop stand, a clean Carfax report, and a clean NY Title.
The car is finished in Manganese Brown Metallic (480O) and features a Brown convertible soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, fog lights, chrome bumpers, polished aluminum trim, and polished and color matched hub caps. There are some minor imperfections one would expect such has small rock chips, small dings, and slight clouding on the hood. Overall, the paint shows beautifully and is original to the car.
Beige or Mushroom (275) leather upholstery covers the front HEATED bucket seats, which are accompanied by a matching rear bench, lower dashboard, and door panels. The seats are currently covered with sheepskin seat covers. The seats are all in terrific shape with only the driver’s seat showing normal, minor wear. The cabin is further appointed with woodgrain trim and electric windows. The four-spoke steering wheel frames a VDO 240 KM/HR speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline and an inset clock in addition to gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and fuel economy.
The Carfax shows 0 Incidents and consistent mileage and is available upon request. The car is available for viewing & purchase any day in Remsenburg, Long Island. Thank You and Enjoy. Feel free to message me with any questions or interest.
