wanted to buy 280SL for restoration.
« on: May 13, 2019, 19:17:49 »
I am looking for a Mercedes Benz 280SL LHD restoration project. Budget 25-30K USD depend on condition and location. It must be matching numbers and complete car.
We have extensive experience in restoring the Mercedes Benz W111, W112, W113. If you have questions about restoration, do not be shy and contact us on rmw.lv

Are you still looking for a 280sl project. I have a 1970 280sl automatic available which will require restoration. It is complete and includes many new genuine Mercedes body panels..

Or maybe it isn't real. At any rate I would want to have every last cent in my hand before I released the car to a very distant place.
