Introduction
Glyn Parry
This 280SE is in amazing condition, with its rich golden paint looking fantastic and its mechanical systems having benefitted from a full restoration. Aside from a slightly tricky central locking system, it's ready to be enjoyed!
The car was stored for around thirty years before being brought back to life. A significant amount of time and money has been spent on this restoration, primarily on the engine rebuild, gearbox work, new steering rack and steering head at the highly respected SLSHOP in Stratford-upon-Avon. This particular 280SE boasts a 3.5L V8 engine that was a special edition version at the time, limited to around 11,000 units.
This right-hand-drive beauty is owned by Eamonn, who after 2 years is looking to sell it. This looks to be a sound investment whether you want to keep the car stored for investment, or to use it for leisurely drives.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting Eamonn the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi, it has been intermittent but I have just tried it and only the driver door locked and opened. It was picked up by the SL Shop report- they said ‘ Central locking inoperative’- but I concentrated on the mechanical side of things with a view to sorting this issue out later
Hi Eamonn/Glyn. Is it possible to provide a bit more detail on the central locking ‘quirk’ please? As in, is it just a matter that when turning the key, the passenger and rear doors do not unlock or does the drivers door not unlock also? It sounds like it is an intermittent personality trait but would be good to have an idea of if this is to be expected most of the time or just every now and again?!? And finally, is it a new issue as I would have assumed the SL Shop would have picked up on this in their report and thus I would assume this would have been rectified when in their workshop given the extensive job list that they had already undertaken. Many thanks.
