Strong hi revving more powerful 2.8L Euro 6 cylinder 110 motor. Wonderful driving experience with 4 speed manual true driver’s control. Cannot emphasize enough about the 280 107 model – the manual versions on the 280SL lighter cars are the business. Refreshed new steering tie rods on both sides. Fresh fluids were done prior to our acquisition. Newer exhaust system sounds lovely/proper.

15 hole light alloy rims over excellent condition tires.

Documentation from European import to USA. Service records from prior ownership trail all the way back with a thick file full of history.
