1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a used car showing 23,850 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Midnight Blue with a Cognac interior.

Gallery Aaldering describes a careful, skilled restoration carried out some years ago and documented in a photographic report. The car comes from a modest but respected collection of SL models, and its last owner used it so little that, in the dealer's words, his polishing machine has covered more kilometres than the car.

Midnight Blue over cognac leather is, for the dealer, the combination that defines the Pagoda. It has the manual gearbox, neither rare nor common on the 280 SL, and the photographs show a black fabric soft top; no hardtop appears in the published gallery.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL uses the 2,778 cc M130 straight-six, with fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft, rated at 170 PS (125 kW) and 244 Nm, and 200 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox, a ZF five-speed, or a four-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 280 SL in the European market

Can this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The seller quotes price on request. No numerical market position or ranking by price proximity can be calculated without a disclosed asking price. Confirm the amount, currency and VAT basis with the dealer.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL compare?

23,850 km recorded, against a median of 25,623 km across the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL still available?

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Mercedes-Benz 280 SL market?
