Power comes from a 2.8-liter inline-six engine paired with an automatic transmission. The engine is equipped with Bosch fuel injection, a system known for its reliability and consistent performance. Additional features include four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, single exhaust outlet, European headlamps, Bosch front fog lights, and classic VDO instrumentation. The European-spec “slim” bumpers give the car a cleaner, more elegant profile, complemented by 14-inch Bundt-style wheels wrapped in Hankook tires.

Inside, the cabin is thoughtfully appointed with air conditioning, manual crank windows, adjustable bucket seats with headrests, 2+2 rear jump seats, a center console, an analog clock, and a Becker Grand Prix 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 spare wheel 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. Overall, this 1983 280SL is a good example of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic R107 roadster, combining its distinctive European-market specification with the comfort and usability expected from a Mercedes-Benz of this era and is mechanically sound.
