This week brings a 1969 Mercedes 280SL Convertible into the mechanical shop.

Having spent over 2 years in storage we set about getting the car running.
A nasty fuel leak was spotted and the tank was removed and flushed of old fuel before replacement of perished fuel lines.

2.8-litre six-cylinder engine produced 180bhp, 20 horsepower more than the preceding 250SL's

After a full assessment on the ramp we had to deal with some oil and fluid leaks. The engine sump gasket and gearbox sump gasket were replaced and our mechanical technicians carried out a full service.

After road testing and detailing the car was delivered back to its owner ready to be enjoyed this Summer.

Whether it is an annual service, mechanical or bodywork we are here to help you enjoy your car again so please do get in touch to discuss your requirements.
