1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 4-Speed

This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is powered by a 2. 8-liter M130 inline-six linked with a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in light beige over a red leather interior. The selling dealer acquired it in October 2019 after a 15-year period of storage. Gallery photos provide closeups of the finish and trim, and the factory inner fender notches and fender spot welds are observed to be absent. A chip is noted in the hood along with paint bubbling on the trunk lid and color differences in the door jambs. Factory 14â?³ Bundt wheels wear an older set of Michelin radial tires. The cabin is trimmed in red leather (243) with matching loop carpeting, door panels, and dash padding. A Blaupunkt cassette radio is fitted, and wood accents are present atop the dash and between the seats. A wooden Nardi steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer indicates approximately 96k miles.
