The R107 remains one of Mercedes-Benz’s most timeless shapes — elegant, solid, and built to be enjoyed for decades. And this 280SL is exactly that: a proper usable classic with long-term collectibility firmly on its side.
Finished in its original colour, the car has been professionally repainted and presents beautifully throughout. The interior has been retrimmed using correct imported leather, keeping the car true to its original look and feel.
Fitted with both hard and soft tops, this SL is ready for any occasion — roof up or down.
Additional highlights:
* Same owner for 12 years
* Starts and runs great
* Presents exceptionally well
* Papers in order
While the books are unfortunately no longer with the car, the condition and presentation speak for themselves.
These R107 SL models continue to gain appreciation worldwide, and honest, well-kept examples like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
A proper Mercedes-Benz classic — elegant, usable, and ready to be enjoyed.
Located in Shere, Pretoria East for viewings per appointment only.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality.
What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars.
If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
