A car engineered for eternity, that’s what we’re looking at here. A true classic that never begs for attention, yet effortlessly commands it, much like a piece of music that moves you from the very first note.

According to the official Mercedes-Benz Data Card, this example is fully matching numbers and matching colors. Finished in elegant Dark Olive over Parchment leather, it’s a combination that radiates sophistication. And to make it even more charming: it features the highly desirable ivory steering wheel, a detail guaranteed to bring a smile to any enthusiast’s face.

This Pagode was professionally restored and further refined by Mercedes-Benz Classic. The bodywork is beautifully crisp, the paintwork is of exceptional quality, and the chrome trim shines like jewelry. Step inside and you’ll find everything in equally remarkable condition: the seats, carpets, and headliner appear as refined and fresh as the day they left the factory. The pictures on our website speak for themselves.

But beauty is only half the story. A Pagods may look like a sculpture on wheels, yet this 280 SL is above all a driver’s car. From the moment you set off, you can feel it: this roadster was built to cover miles with grace and confidence. Whether it’s a spirited run to dinner for two or a grand tour toward Italy or the Côte d’Azur, this SL handles it with ease. The inline-six delivers a wonderfully warm and refined tone: confident, cultured, and unmistakably present. Ride quality? Solid, poised, and every bit as regal as a proper Mercedes-Benz should feel. Thanks to the extensive restoration and mechanical work, you can expect a car that’s not only beautiful, but technically sound and ready to be enjoyed.

The Pagode is iconic, not simply a classic, but a timeless masterpiece. Successor to the legendary Gullwing, and a car that has only grown in admiration and value over the decades. A Pagode is not merely owned, it is cherished.

This example delivers everything you expect and just a little more. A truly refined Mercedes-Benz, matching numbers, restored at the highest level, and presented in fantastic condition. A stunning piece of automotive history.
