Blog: Low KM 1968 Benz 280SL

This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is being offered for $118,000 with just 48,000 km by a seller out of Maple, ON. This is a matching numbers all original 2-door 2-seater convertible with a 2.8-liter inline-6 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle’s third owner states that it is absent of rust and was never winter driven. Coming with its factory hardtop and convertible soft top, Bosch Lichteinheit halogen headlights and power steering options, it is finished in Gray Beige over a tan leather interior. It comes with the original service booklet, original paint drips in the trunk, original stickers, and documented recent service history including new paint, brake lines, brakes, shocks and bushings. 

The Mercedes-Benz W113 SL’s featured a distinctive, slightly convex hardtop, designated the “Pagoda” top, designed by Paul Bracq and Bela Barenya for ease of entry. Running from 1963 to 1971, just 6,930 Mercedes-Benz 280SL’s were produced in 1968. The 280SL interior features a leather-wrapped dash, supportive seats, and large overt gauges. 

The Mercedes-Benz 280SL is powered by a 2.8-litre SOHC M80 inline-6 with Bosch multi-port fuel injection and a rating of 180 hp. An aluminum bonnet, boot lid, door skins, and tonneau cover, monocoque chassis, coil and wishbone front suspension, and single-pivot swing axle rear suspension contribute to its capable handling.
