Description

This car runs on Synthetic Fuel.
This car can be run on synthetic fuel as well as traditional petrol.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we run all of our competition cars on synthetic fuel. This is a like-for-like fossil-free alternative to petrol that reduces emissions by up to 80%. This can be mixed with traditional petrol and no modifications to the car are required. You can fuel this car with traditional petrol – we simply use synthetic fuel as part of our sustainability goals.

First registered on 7th June 1985, our Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a late-production example of the R107 series. Finished in its original silver over a red interior, the car retains its original specification and is fitted with the 2.8-litre inline six-cylinder petrol engine (M110), paired with an automatic gearbox.

The car was supplied new to the UK and comes with its original service booklet containing stamps from Mercedes-Benz dealers and independent specialists.

Recent maintenance work includes attention to the convertible hood and associated seals, and it is now ready for its lucky new owner.

Our 1985 Mercedes 280 SL is an incredibly well-documented and original example of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running R107 roadster.
