Power comes from a 2.8-liter inline-six engine paired with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a more engaging driving experience than its automatic counterparts. The engine is equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection, a system known for its reliability and consistent performance. Additional features include four-wheel disc brakes, a single exhaust outlet, and classic VDO instrumentation. The European-spec slim bumpers give the car a cleaner, more elegant profile, complemented by 15-inch steel wheels with chrome hubcaps.
Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully appointed with air conditioning, power windows, adjustable bucket seats with headrests, rear bench seat, a center console, an analog clock, and a Sony radio. Practical touches such as a glove box, door pockets, dual rearview mirrors, and a fender-mounted antenna enhance everyday usability. The car also includes a full-size spare tire neatly stored in the trunk.
The 280SL European-market versions like this one were often favored by enthusiasts for their lighter weight and increased power output compared to U.S. models, largely due to fewer emissions restrictions at the time, making them especially desirable today.
Accompanying this example are the manufacturer's literature, a clean CARFAX report showing California history, and an extensive file of receipts totaling $13,928.67, dating from 1991 through 2023. Altogether, this 280SL presents as a well-kept and thoughtfully maintained classic that remains enjoyable to drive and appreciate, mechanically sound.
