Sold new in France and registered in the Var on 23 March 1976, this 280 SL was ordered in Light Ivory with a Saffron leather interior. The options specified included a four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking and heat-absorbing glass. It comes with an order form as a used car in September 1981 from the Foch garage in La Valette, made out to a resident of Toulon, who kept the car until 2020! This elegant convertible, which still has its hardtop, is in good original condition; it is very sound and was previously repainted. The original interior is well preserved, and inside the glove box there are the service instructions from when it was new, as well as the ‘Datenkarte’ and the service book showing that the car had done 22,300km in 1978. The boot houses the spare, an alloy wheel identical to those fitted to the car, which have Falken tyres in near-new condition, dating from 2018. Well preserved and with 73,948km on the clock when we inspected it, this fine example has a clear history and represents a rare opportunity.

Please note that the passenger window is not working.
