The 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL offered here boasts a unique and fascinating history, having had only one original owner from 1970 to 2014, a remarkable 44 years. With a 100-Point Concours restoration completed by Mercedes Benz U.S. Classic Center in 2018, this vehicle has been meticulously maintained and restored to its former glory.

The restoration of the 280SL was comprehensive, with Mercedes-Benz U.S. Classic Center completely disassembling the vehicle down to its bare chassis. All components were addressed, restored, and replaced as necessary. The car was refinished in the stunning combination of Moss Green Metallic with a Cognac leather interior and converted to 'Euro spec', significantly updating the look versus the U.S.-delivered style.

This meticulous restoration process, which took four years to complete, resulted in a stunning example of a Mercedes-Benz 280SL. Today, a restoration of this caliber represents an investment in excess of $600,000.

This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL features its original 2.8L 6-Cylinder engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission, upgraded factory air conditioning, and European headlights. The vehicle includes a hardtop, soft top, original owner's manual, tools, jack, and spare. With only 47,316 original miles and just 626 miles driven since restoration, this 280SL is a rare find for any collector or enthusiast.

After being put through the 'Canepa Difference' process to ensure that all mechanical systems were currently serviced and tested, and cosmetic finishes were like new, this 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is ready for its next caretaker to drive another lifetime's worth of miles or to show its style on a concours lawn.
