We are very pleased to offer this 1998 Mercedes SL280 in Vivianite metallic with Safron interior.
First registered in August 1998, it was supplied to the UK mainland wearing the plate ‘S32 AMC’.
Just over a year later it was exported to the Isle of Man where it has spent the rest of its life, hence the very moderate mileage.
It was optioned with the wooden gear knob, wood and leather steering wheel, CD changer and heated seats.
The service book contains 10 stamps, with a further service recorded in the bundle of accompanying invoices.
The last service was in August 2024, since then it has also had a fresh battery and two new tyres.
With most R129 SLs being supplied in black or silver, the vivid green that is Vivianite metallic is a breath of fresh air and looks stunning in the sunshine.
The SL comes with its factory hardtop to give a bit of extra security and insulation in the colder months.
The hood itself is black and in good condition, functioning correctly during our photo ...
