— View the entire auction on www.classiccar-auctions.com —

Production of the R107 began in 1971 and by the time the last one was built in 1989, Mercedes had produced more than 237,000. This made it one of the longest-running models in the brand's history, along with the G-Class. The R107 ("R" for Roadster) was important for the American market, so it had to be equipped with all kinds of luxury options to satisfy the customer. The 1979 Mercedes 280 SL was powered by a 2.8-liter six-cylinder fuel injected engine. The engine produced 185 horsepower. The 280 SL had a two-door convertible body with a soft top for use in bad weather. It had a streamlined design with a long hood and short rear, and it came with a chrome grille and stylish bumpers. The interior of the 1979 Mercedes 280 SL could seat four people and featured several luxurious details. The Mercedes 280 SL was known for its flexible and comfortable driving experience, with good road holding and excellent highway performance. It was a popular choice among sports car enthusiasts because of its powerful engine and luxurious features.

The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us.

You can inspect the cars on the viewing days for which you have to make a reservation through our ticketshop - www.eventix.shop/xmxuc9fs.
