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.

Our 1997 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is finished in the rare Vivianite metallic, paired with a beige leather interior. First registered in August 1997, it was ordered with the optional rear seats, embroidered floor mats, and the colour-coded hard top and panoramic roof. It also has a period-correct tape player with a CD changer in the boot. 

Our 280SL has a five-speed automatic gearbox and has covered under 50,000 miles from new.

It comes with a spare key, its original book pack (including a stamped service book), and an MOT history that supports its low mileage. 

There’s also a substantial folder of invoices, showing that the car has been properly cared for over the years.
