1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL for Sale in the Netherlands

This Mercedes-Benz 280 SL from 1970 is offered by Gallery Aaldering in Brummen, Netherlands. The odometer shows 82,772 km. The exterior is Silver Gray Metallic, with a Black interior.

The dealer describes a complete restoration by a Mercedes-Benz collector, aimed at retaining the original factory specification. Documentation accompanies the car and goes back to around 1973, including a dealership battery load-test invoice. The silver metallic body is paired with black leather and an automatic transmission. The only published image is a dealer placeholder; photographs of the car itself have not yet been published.

The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL uses the 2,778 cc M130 fuel-injected inline-six with a single overhead camshaft, the final evolution of the M180 engine, its bore widened by 4.5 mm and an oil cooler set beside the radiator, rated at 170 PS (125 kW) at 5,750 rpm and 240 Nm at 4,500 rpm, with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels, offered beside the four-speed manual and the rare ZF five-speed.

The 280 SL was introduced in December 1967 and built until 23 February 1971, when the heavier R107 350 SL replaced the W113. Of the 48,912 W113 cars built at Stuttgart and Sindelfingen, 23,885 were 280 SLs, more than half of them sold in the United States, where the automatic transmission was the usual choice.

FAQ

Questions about this 280 SL

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

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

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

82,772 km recorded, against a median of 32,750 km across the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-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?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

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?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 280 SL, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
