This 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL280 is a fine example of the R129 generation, presented in original and unmodified condition.

Optioned in Smaragd Schwarz – a metallic hue that shifts between emerald green and black depending on the direction light hits it – it was also specified with colour-coded bumpers to maintain a clean look. It is also supplied with its detachable hardtop roof.

Inside, this SL280 is trimmed in black leather with walnut trim. The interior presents in excellent condition and still features the original radio and climate control system.

Powered by the ‘M104’ 2.8-litre straight-six, the SL280 delivered 142kW and 270Nm. It comes backed by a smooth automatic transmission.

Delivering cruisy, comfortable, drop-top motoring, the SL makes for an ideal weekender that blends retro charm with modern reliability.
