Reluctant sale of my cherished 1981 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL (R107) in stunning Champagne Gold with cream leather interior. Just 43,500 miles from new, making this a genuinely low-mileage example of one of the most iconic convertibles ever made. This is a right-hand drive car, originally supplied new in South Africa to a Mercedes-Benz executive who kept it garaged and maintained to factory standards. I purchased the car directly from him and personally imported it to the UK in 2007. The dry South African climate has been kind to it - the car is completely rust-free with no structural corrosion whatsoever. Two owners from new, with nearly 20 years in my careful ownership. Since arriving in the UK the car has always been garaged and serviced exclusively by Mercedes-Benz in Tonbridge or a local Mercedes specialist. A comprehensive file of paperwork accompanies the car, tracing its full history back to the original owner at new - invoices, service records and documentation all present and correct. The bodywork retains its original paint, which still presents beautifully with the depth of colour you only get from factory finishes of this era. The cream leather interior has worn gracefully and remains in excellent order. Both the original hardtop and soft top are included and in great condition, giving you the option of a proper year-round grand tourer or an open-air cruiser for the summer months. Mechanically the car is in great condition, having been recently serviced. Everything works as it should. There are no known faults - this is a car you could collect and enjoy immediately. At 43,500 miles this is a particularly low-mileage R107 with outstanding provenance and a fully documented life. It has been properly looked after rather than simply stored away, and it drives as well as the numbers suggest. Serious enquiries only please. Viewings welcome by appointment in Sevenoaks. No dealers, no tyre kickers.
