This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL was reportedly acquired new by its current owner’s family and is finished in ivory over a black interior. Power is supplied by a 2.8-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes a black removable Pagoda hardtop, a soft top, a Becker radio, and steel wheels with black-painted covers.
The body was reportedly repainted its current shade of ivory in the 1990s, and the seller notes the black soft top is a newer item.
Steel 14″ wheels feature polished covers with black-painted centers and are mounted with 195/75 Goodyear Integrity tires. The power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes were serviced earlier this year per the seller.
The seats are upholstered in black MB-tex, and the cabin features a matching dash pad and door panels. Salt-and-pepper loop carpeting lines the floors, and amenities include wood trim on the top of the dash and center console, a Becker push-button radio, and an analog clock.
A two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline. The five-digit odometer shows just over 90k miles.
The fuel-injected 2.8L M130 inline-six drives the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports a recent valve adjustment, oil change, and replacement valve cover gasket.
Factory literature is included in the sale along with a car cover.
