The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (R107) carried forward the legacy of the legendary “Pagoda” SLs into a new era of modern luxury and grand touring. When launched, the R107 series symbolized contemporary design and engineering excellence, offering a larger, more refined experience while still delivering the driving pleasure expected from the SL nameplate.
This particular model is powered by the 2.8L twin-cam 6-cylinder engine, offering a lighter and more balanced driving feel compared to its V8 siblings. Paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, it delivers smooth and composed performance—ideal for long open road cruising.
Presented in a classic green exterior with a beige interior, this 280 SL is a timeless beauty that continues to turn heads. With a mileage of 131,675 km indicated, it remains in good condition and captures the essence of 1980s Mercedes sophistication.
The R107 SL series has become one of the most iconic and desirable classic Mercedes-Benz models—a true symbol of success then, and a cherished collectible today. Made internationally famous as the “Bobby Ewing” Benz from the TV series Dallas!
