Up for sale is an absolutely spectacular, collector-grade R107 280SL. This vehicle has recently undergone a comprehensive, no-expense-spared, frame-off "nut and bolt" restoration and presents in flawless, turn-key condition.

The 280SL is highly regarded by Mercedes-Benz purists. Thanks to its iconic 2.8L M110 double-overhead-cam (DOHC) inline-six engine, this European-spec cruiser is lighter over the front nose than its V8 siblings, offering far superior handling balance, better fuel efficiency, and a wonderfully rev-happy character.

Every single component on this vehicle has been restored, refreshed, or replaced to factory-original standards. If you are looking for one of the finest R107's on the market, this is it.

Restoration Highlights

Powertrain & Mechanicals: The legendary M110 OHC engine was completely gone through by the leading Mercedes Expert Mechanic in Gauteng.
Chassis & Suspension: Every single suspension arm, bushing, spring, and shock absorber is brand new.
Exterior: Laser-straight bodywork finished in a flawless, professional repaint. Show-quality chrome bumpers and trim accents. Period-correct, pristine [Authentic Bundt Alloy Wheels]
Interior & Top: Completely re-trimmed using correct, imported German materials. The original Zebrano wood trim has been beautifully refinished. Flawless, crack-free dashboard. Comes with a brand-new fabric soft top as well as the original, color-matched removable hardtop.

Condition & Paperwork

Condition: Concours / Excellent. The car has covered only shake-down miles since the completion of the restoration.
Paperwork: All registration documents are up to date and in perfect order. A comprehensive binder detailing the restoration process, receipts, and photography accompanies the sale.

This R107 balances timeless 1970s/80s status-symbol styling with modern usability and bulletproof reliability. It needs absolutely nothing but a new custodian to take it to classic car rallies or add it to a high-end collection.
