This is not just any classic Mercedes. What you’re looking at is a fully restored and rebuilt 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagode, finished with original and NOS parts. The restoration was carried out in the Netherlands by a renowned Dutch SL specialist, and the results are stunning.

For the true connoisseurs: yes, the V-marks on the front fenders are present. This particular Pagoda comes with a manual gearbox, the enthusiast's choice. And in the all-time classic color combination of black over deep red leather, it’s nothing short of striking.

The paintwork is deep and glossy, the chrome parts shine with minimal signs of age, and the interior? Simply gorgeous. The leather is of superb quality, the carpets are beautiful, and everything is fitted with utmost precision.

The car comes with a well-documented history file, including a complete photo series of the restoration and numerous invoices. Everything you want to see when buying a classic Mercedes.

This 280 SL is part of the legendary W113 series, introduced in 1963. It was an instant success. A sports car with comfort. Fast, yet safe. Sharp, yet elegant. It was the first sports car to feature a safety cell – which means that in the event of a crash, you’re better protected. It also came standard with three-point seatbelts, a collapsible steering column, and soft interior materials. That’s Mercedes innovation in a nutshell.

Under the hood lies the heart of the 280 SL: a 2.8-liter inline-six with fuel injection. Smooth, powerful enough to thrill, and as reliable as a Swiss watch.

This 280 SL is more than just a classic. It is a rolling icon. Elegant, robust, and ready for another fifty years of top-down driving pleasure.
