Prior to restoration, this 280 SL earner AACA Senior National
honors in 2007. Although already superb and without issue, it was
decided to perform and exceptional detailed restoration during 2012
and 2013 by David Latham and his specialists at well-known Mercedes
Benz restoration facility Budds Benz in Georgia. It was restored in
its original color combination and painstakingly finished to the
highest standards with as many factory original new parts as
possible to create what is essentially a brand new 280 SL Roadster.
This 280 SL is complete with factory correct decals, emblems and
hanging tags. It is also accompanied by its factory data card as
well as original owner's manual and tool kit.
Following the completion of the 280s restoration, it earned Best of
Show and People's Choice awards at the 2013 MBCA Peachtree Concours
d'Elegance.
Subsequently sold at auction, this 280 SL was purchased by one of
our good clients, kept in his New York collection, serviced by
Autosport Designs and later traded towards another one of our
automotive orphans from inventory.
In March 2017, this 280 SL was purchased by a well-known and
respected California collector, Mr. R Scherr as a gift for his
wife. The SL was sent to Mercedes Benz Classic center where it was
serviced and treated to a new convertible top prior to being
presented to be in absolute perfect condition. Upon receipt of her
SL, this 280 was used and enjoyed for limited use and kept within
the multi-car collection. Due to being used rarely, February 2018
saw this 280 SL traded once again to Autosport Designs, Inc.
towards another automobile from the ASD inventory deemed more
suitable for "his" portion of the collection. The 280 SL was sold
almost immediately to a good client of ours here in Long Island and
where it has been used and enjoyed only during the Spring and
Summer New York Hamptons seasons and serviced when and where needed
yearly.
Available for immediate purchase, use and enjoyment, this 280 SL is
truly one of the finest examples available with no disappointments
whatsoever!
