The most successful roadsters ever produced were those that combined style, performance, and a pure driving experience, which the Mercedes-Benz 280SL does perfectly. These cars sport a punchy 2.8L inline-6 paired with a silky smooth 4 speed manual transmission, creating a memorable driving experience. The timeless "pagoda" shape is one of the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz roadster designs, rendering these cars highly collectable, and a '60's icon.

Our example is a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL. Delivered new in California, this ultra-rare 4-speed manual example presents in good condition, and despite having had an older restoration still retains its originality. Painted in an eye-catching blue over a blue leather interior with period correct white wall tyres, this vehicle must be seen to be appreciated.

Brought to Australia in 2011, this matching numbers 280SL comes with its hard top and a new, but as original folding navy soft top. Also included with the vehicle are import documents and multiple receipts for work carried out. This is an excellent opportunity to own a rare and highly collectable 280SL.

The power is instant and torquey, and the shifts are smooth and precise. This engine/gearbox combination results in a car that is easy to drive, and has no trouble keeping up in modern traffic. The luxury feel is one that transcends generations, and the usability of this classic is second to none. Car is complete with owner's manuals.

This 280SL is an investment ready to be driven and enjoyed every day. Steadily increasing in desirability and rarity, this is an excellent opportunity to own an essential piece of Mercedes-Benz history.
