Euro 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 4-Speed

This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is finished in Arabian Gray over a black leather interior and is powered by a 2. 8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission.

Factory 14” steel wheels wear color-matched and polished covers and 195/75 Hankook Optimo thin whitewall tires that were installed in September 2020. Braking is handled by power-assisted discs at all four wheels, and service at Coachwerks Restoration in September 2020 included rebuilt rear calipers and a brake fluid exchange. The interior is trimmed in black leather with matching door panels and dash upholstery as well as salt-and-pepper squareweave carpets. Equipment includes a Becker Grand Prix AM/FM stereo, a VDO analog clock in the dash, and wood trim on the dash and lower windshield surround. Factory VDO instrumentation consists of a 7k-rpm tachometer, a 220-km/h speedometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature.
