Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1985 Mercedes 280SL boasts exceptionally low mileage (65,150 miles) and has had only three owners, with the current owner for 30 years. It has been garaged and lightly used, with recent work including new brake calipers, pads, and a battery.

While the mechanicals are reported to be sound and it's usable as-is, the description notes "odd blemish here and there" and a taped hole in the soft top's window, suggesting scope for cosmetic improvement.

Condition

6

The car is described as being in 'decent shape for a 40-year-old with just the odd blemish here and there'. It has a taped-over hole in the soft top's plastic window and has had repairs to the sills and inner wheel arches in the past. While mechanically sound with low mileage, these cosmetic issues prevent it from being rated higher.
