1969 MERCEDES BENZ 280SL*42,954 ACTUAL MILES with HOLLYWOOD HISTORY*

Description

THIS 1969 MERCEDES BENZ 280SL W113 WAS A GIFT FROM LEGENDARY FILM PRODUCER JON PETERS (RAIN MAN, BATMAN, FLASHDANCE, CADDYSHACK, A STAR IS BORN) TO THE ACTRESS LESLEY ANN WARREN (CINDERELLA, THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE, CHOOSE ME, LIFE STINKS). IT IS NOW A TWO-OWNER CAR (I BOUGHT IT FROM HER PERSONALLY) WITH 42,954 ACTUAL MILES. AS PART OF THE GIFT, IT WAS GIVEN A CUSTOM PAINT JOB, A STEREO, AND A PLAQUE WITH THE INITIALS L.A.W. ON THE DASHBOARD. ALWAYS A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CAR, IT IS ABSOLUTELY ROCK SOLID AND RUNS LIKE A DREAM, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RUST ANYWHERE. THE FUEL TANK, FUEL LINES, COOLING SYSTEM, TRANSMISSION, GASKETS, AND BRAKING SYSTEM HAVE ALL BEEN RECENTLY SERVICED BY AUTOHAUS SALZBURG IN SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA. FULL SERVICE RECORDS, AND PROOF OF PURCHASE BY JON PETERS, AND PROOF OF OWNERSHIP BY MS.WARREN COME WITH THE VEHICLE.
THE CUSTOM PAINT SHOWS NICELY, AND IS A UNIQUE APRICOT GOLD. IT IS WELL DONE, AND VERY NICE WITH ONLY A FEW MINOR BLEMISHES. LEATHER INTERIOR AND CARPETS ARE VERY NICE AS WELL. ALL GLASS AND TRIM ARE EXCELLENT. CHROME BUMPERS SHOW SOME OXIDIZATION, BUT ARE STILL QUITE PRESENTABLE. NEW TAN CLOTH TOP WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE VEHICLE, AS THE ORIGINAL SOFT TOP IS WORN. TIRES ARE BRAND NEW WITH LESS THAN 100 MILES ON THEM.
THIS UNIQUE, LOW-MILEAGE W113 280SL IS TRULY ONE OF A KIND, A PIECE OF CALIFORNIA AND HOLLYWOOD HISTORY. THERE ARE A LOT OF RESTORED CARS OUT THERE TO LOOK AT, BUT FEW WITH SUCH LOW ORIGINAL MILES, AND NONE WITH SUCH A COLORFUL PAST...
THIS VEHICLE HAS A CLEAN CALIFORNIA TITLE, AND IS FOR SALE LOCALLY. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS LISTING AT ANY TIME. I WELCOME YOUR INSPECTION IN THE VENTURA, CALIFORNIA AREA. I WILL DELIVER TO ANY SHIPPING DEPOT WITHIN 100 MILES OF VENTURA, CA, 93003, FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING.
