1984 Mercedes-Benz 280SL R107 (LHD) – Manual Transmission
A striking example of Mercedes’ timeless R107 roadster, this 280SL is a left-hand-drive model and a rare factory manual – a real driver’s car. The paintwork still presents beautifully, though there are some underlying rust issues to be aware of.
Powered by the legendary M110 2.8L inline-six engine and paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox, it delivers a lively and engaging open-top driving experience. The car shows 219,733 km on the clock and comes with a file of invoices and some service history, adding to its provenance.
With its classic lines, proper manual setup, and charming patina, this SL is a desirable and increasingly collectible modern classic.
