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, twin exhaust outlets, quad-round headlight conversion, 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, power windows, cruise control, adjustable bucket seats with headrests, rear bench seat, a center console, an analog clock, and a Kenwood 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 matching Bundt alloy 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. Altogether, this 280SL presents as a well-kept and thoughtfully maintained classic that remains enjoyable to drive and appreciate, mechanically sound. For $17,500
