Summary
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, finished in Arabian Grey over red, is a rare 4-speed manual example with just over 39k miles on the 5-digit odometer. It boasts a unique provenance, having been traded in twice by its original owner and a technician at the original selling dealer, where it has remained for the last 20 years. Recent service includes new struts, tires, and fresh fluids, and it comes with original books and a black painted hardtop.
