1985 – Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 2.8 – £11500

Discover a piece of automotive history with this meticulously maintained 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL, a true classic that not only captures the elegance of its era but also offers the added benefit of being ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) compliant. Originally registered in Jersey and imported to the UK in 1985, this stunning metallic blue convertible with a charming tweed interior has been lovingly cared for, spending its life garaged and only driven on dry summer days, accumulating just 1,364 miles under its current ownership.

This exceptional vehicle comes with a comprehensive service history, boasting 16 service stamps and numerous invoices, and enjoys historic vehicle status, which means zero road tax and MOT exemption. While the car is in generally good mechanical condition, potential buyers should be aware of a few maintenance considerations, including a gearbox that may slip between 2nd and 3rd when cold, inoperative pneumatic central locking, and a non-functioning power-operated roof. For the classic car enthusiast seeking a unique, well-preserved Mercedes with urban driving flexibility, this 280 SL represents an exciting opportunity to own a piece of automotive heritage.
