The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda is one of the most iconic convertibles ever produced by Mercedes-Benz. Designed by Paul Bracq, the W113 series combines timeless elegance with exceptional build quality, dependable engineering and outstanding driving comfort. Thanks to its distinctive "Pagoda" hardtop, refined inline-six engine and luxurious finish, the 280 SL remains one of the most sought-after classic Mercedes-Benz models today.

This 1970 example is presented in exceptional condition following a recent professional restoration and is finished in the elegant factory colour Horizontblau. It is powered by the reliable 2,778 cc inline-six engine, paired with an automatic transmission. The body has been professionally repainted, while the underside and engine bay have been completely restored to an almost factory-new standard. The soft top has been renewed and the interior is beautifully presented throughout. In addition, the engine has been converted to electronic fuel injection, providing improved reliability and smoother performance. Owing to the outstanding quality of its restoration and finish, this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is presented in true concours condition and has been awarded Grade 1 according to the strict German classic car classification system, the highest possible distinction for a historic vehicle. The car is also ready for European registration, with the required E705 import documents included.
