Summary
This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, finished in Signal Red over a black leather interior, features a 2.8-liter M130 inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Reportedly refurbished in the early 1990s with a repaint and engine, suspension, and brake work, it includes a color-matched hardtop, a replacement black soft top, and a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel. Recent maintenance includes fluid and filter replacements, though the air conditioning is noted as not working and the five-digit odometer is believed to have rolled over.
