HISTORY
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL has a fascinating backstory. A Massachusetts family originally special-ordered it directly from Europe, equipping it with nearly every available option – including rare rear seats not found in US models! After enjoying the car for a few years, they sold it to another family in Massachusetts. The car stayed within this second family until 2008, passing from father to son. The current owner, who acquired it in 2008, has meticulously restored the roadster to its original showroom condition, sparing no expense to ensure it looks and drives like new. For peace of mind, a complete service history from the current owner's period of ownership will be included with the car.

We go above and beyond the typical pre-owned dealership. We use a sophisticated paint meter tool to test each metal body panel on our vehicles. This allows us to verify that the paint is factory original, or if any paint work has been done, it is of the same high quality as the factory paint.
This 1985 Mercedes-Benz 280SL turns heads with its gleaming exterior. While the paint isn't original, we've meticulously inspected it using high-tech tools to ensure a top-quality repaint. Completed about 6-8 years ago by skilled professionals, the paintwork boasts a deep shine that rivals the factory finish. Transparency is important to us, and we want you to be confident in your purchase by knowing the car's full history.
