1982 Mercedes-Benz 280SL 5-speed R107

This 1982 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is finished in Champagne over a beige interior with a brown soft top and matching Champagne removable hardtop. While the R107 is already one of Mercedes-Benz's most iconic grand touring cars, what truly sets this example apart is its rare factory 5-speed manual transmission. Most 280SLs were delivered with automatic transmissions, and even among manual cars, the vast majority received a 4-speed gearbox. Factory 5-speed examples are exceptionally scarce and are considered among the most desirable R107 variants by enthusiasts and collectors. Powered by the legendary M110 2.8-liter DOHC inline-six, this 280SL has benefited from extensive recent mechanical servicing, including a new fuel pump and filter, fuel distributor, fuel pump relay, warm-up regulator, fuel injectors with new seals, spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, battery, rear brake calipers, rear brake pads, all four brake hoses, brake sensors, brake master cylinder, parking brake kit, A/C blower motor, driveshaft flex discs, center support bearing, exhaust hangers, and professionally refinished wheels. The car carries a clean title and a clean Carfax history report and is ready to be enjoyed.
