Vehicle Detail
Wonderful original 280 SL a true survivor Finished in fabulous 268 H Dark Green with rare matching green interior, this incredibly original Mercedes 280 SL still has most it's original paint,with a reported 40 k miles in the hands of just 2 owners,it has never been restored.Original paint, panels, floors and undercoating, are a rare feature of this car, add to that the car has that has never been steamed cleanedor has had any kind of tarting up done to it. it is truly unique.This theme runs throughout this vehicle, the engine is as it should be for a car of this age, no quick engine detail done here with shiny lacquer. Just a wonderfully orginal engine bay with the correct grime and apart from a new alternator, new air conditioning compressor, a few new hosesand clips, it is all as it left Factory. Check out the original fenders with Factory spot welds in the engine bay, even the "eyebrows" are there.The car runs, drives, stops and rides superbly. Everything on the car works, from the heater controls to the ice cold A/C. Please ask all questions before bidding, this is an exceptional car that deserves an appreciative new owner. Please bear in mind that although the car is in incredible condition for it's age, and must be one of the very best examples available, it is not a new car, nor has it been restored, as such it will have some imperfections commensurate with age, use and mileage.
