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

Tom Hartley, a professional dealer in Swadlincote, United Kingdom. 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 Swadlincote, United Kingdom, 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: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.

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 Tom Hartley before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.
