Some automobiles never go out of style, and the legendary Mercedes-Benz SL Roadster is certainly one of them! Representing an era when Mercedes-Benz built automobiles with extraordinary craftsmanship, timeless styling, and an uncompromising commitment to quality, the classic R107-generation SL remains one of the most elegant and desirable European grand touring convertibles ever produced! We are proud to offer this absolutely beautiful 1987 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Convertible, finished in gorgeous Red with a stunning Tan leather interior! With only 78,619 original miles, long-term ownership, a history of being garage kept, and exceptionally well-preserved overall condition, this is the kind of classic Mercedes-Benz that collectors and enthusiasts love to find! This is not your typical 1980s Mercedes-Benz Roadster. This is a beautiful, well-cared-for example that reflects years of pride in ownership and careful preservation. From its excellent Red paint to its gorgeous Tan leather interior, this 280SL presents exceptionally well and offers all the elegance, sophistication, and classic European styling that made these Mercedes-Benz roadsters so desirable when new! Under the hood is the smooth and refined 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine, paired with an automatic transmission. Known for its balanced performance and wonderful driving characteristics, this Mercedes-Benz powertrain is perfectly suited for relaxed open-air cruising and comfortable grand touring. The six-cylinder engine delivers the refined driving experience that made Mercedes-Benz famous, while the automatic transmission makes this beautiful roadster a pleasure to enjoy. One of the things that makes this particular 280SL so special is its outstanding overall condition. The beautiful Red exterior has a deep, attractive finish and presents in excellent condition, showcasing the classic lines and elegant proportions of the iconic R107 body style. The long hood, distinctive Mercedes-Benz grille, chrome accents, and timeless roadster silhouette give this car an unmistakable presence that simply cannot be duplicated by today's modern automobiles. The beautiful Tan leather interior is equally impressive! The seats, dashboard, door panels, and interior appointments reflect the quality and attention to detail that made Mercedes-Benz one of the world's most respected luxury automobile manufacturers. The Tan leather is a wonderful complement to the Red exterior, creating one of the most attractive and classic color combinations available on these beautiful SL roadsters. The interior remains in excellent condition, further reflecting the careful ownership and preservation this automobile has enjoyed throughout its life. Another particularly desirable feature is that this Mercedes-Benz comes complete with BOTH TOPS! The removable Red factory-style hardtop transforms the car into an elegant enclosed grand touring coupe, perfect for cooler weather or simply enjoying the classic hardtop appearance. Remove the hardtop and enjoy the convertible soft top, or lower the soft top completely and experience the true pleasure of open-air Mercedes-Benz motoring! Having both tops adds tremendous versatility and desirability to this already beautiful classic. What really sets this 280SL apart is its long-term ownership and remarkably well-preserved condition. With only 78,619 original miles, this is a wonderful example of an automobile that has clearly been appreciated and cared for rather than simply used as everyday transportation. Its garage-kept history is evident in the excellent exterior finish, beautiful interior, and impressive overall presentation. The Mercedes-Benz R107 SL series has earned a tremendous following among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide, and for good reason. Produced from 1971 through 1989, these iconic roadsters became synonymous with success, luxury, sophistication, and understated elegance. Their exceptional build quality, comfortable driving characteristics, and timeless styling have helped make them some of the most recognizable Mercedes-Benz automobiles ever produced. The European-market 280SL is especially appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate the smooth inline six-cylinder engine and the classic driving experience it provides. These six-cylinder SL models offer wonderful balance, refined performance, and all the luxury and craftsmanship expected from a classic Mercedes-Benz. Imagine enjoying a beautiful Sunday afternoon with the top down, cruising along the coast in this gorgeous Red Mercedes-Benz with the warm Tan leather interior surrounding you. Whether heading to a classic car gathering, dinner at your favorite restaurant, or simply taking the scenic route home, this elegant roadster delivers an ownership experience that is truly special! Unlike many classic automobiles that require extensive restoration or attention, this Mercedes-Benz stands out for its beautiful cosmetic condition, low original mileage, and careful long-term ownership. Finding an R107 Roadster with this combination of condition, colors, mileage, and both tops is becoming increasingly difficult. Whether you are a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, a collector of classic European automobiles, or someone who has always dreamed of owning an iconic SL Convertible, this beautiful 1987 Mercedes-Benz 280SL deserves your attention!

Past & Present Motor Cars was founded in June of 2018 by Jack and Jeff and began in 2 small warehouses in Ocala and Winter Garden, Florida. After seeing the business have steady growth in the first year and a half in March 2020 we moved our Main Location in Winter Garden to a new location that at the time seemed huge. We were a little nervous to take on this larger building and higher rent but we knew we had to THINK BIG. After getting moved in, that was the start of Covid. Just after getting settled in we put signs on the door saying we were only open by appointment. While it was a tough time in the world it actually was a good time to be in the car business especially the classic car business and we continued to see steady growth. After 2 1/2 years in that location we proceeded to acquire 4 buildings and lease a 5th building. This allowed for the operation we have today with 150+ Classic Cars and a Service Department. We are still doing the same thing we have done everyday since we opened, Great Customer Service, Owners that are Available and Accessible for our customers and very happy to talk cars anytime anywhere. We will never grow too big to be real with anyone! Keeping our commitment to our customers through straightforward business and ALWAYS doing the right thing! We are the same people with the same commitment as the day we opened and our slogan is and remains:
Have you found the perfect collector vehicle on All Collector Cars? Before you make any decisions, we recommend that you take some time now to read the full description and review all the pictures with the listing. It’s important to do as much due diligence as you can before you contact the seller so that you’re prepared to ask about any flaws you see—and perhaps ones you don’t.
All Collector Cars allows our sellers to post unlimited vehicle pictures and descriptions, which gives you, the buyer, more control and information. In addition, our Buyers Resource section offers advice and vendor recommendations to guide you through the buying process, from classic car financing & insurance to collector vehicle shipping & restoration.
