1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda

Description

The 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, part of the W113 line, is particularly notable for its distinctive "Pagoda" hardtop, which was designed by Paul Bracq. This unique feature gives the car its nickname, "Pagoda," due to the concave shape of the hardtop, resembling the architecture of East Asian temples. The 280SL was the final evolution in the W113 series and is often considered the most refined and desirable.

This particular model, in a stunning Light Ivory finish, showcases the lasting appeal of the Pagoda series. It features a period-correct M130-983 engine under the hood. It preserves the car's authentic character. The vehicle's exterior, believed to be in its original paint, shows signs of meticulous care with only light touch-ups. The interior has been tastefully enhanced with new carpets, seat pads, leather upholstery, and a new convertible top, all completed at Marietta Trim.

This 280SL comes with a black canvas soft top and a striking red metal hardtop. Riding on 14" wheels and equipped with power disc brakes. The car's history as a well-maintained and cherished investment is evident, with service records dating back to 2003. Owned for a year by a consignor who has invested significantly in its upkeep.
