The 280 SL Pagoda is timeless, elegant, and built for those who understand what true class means. This particular example has undergone a full bare-metal restoration, refined to the smallest detail. It is not just any classic Mercedes, but a stunningly restored Pagoda that speaks straight to the heart.

This 280 SL was restored with the kind of dedication only found among the most skilled craftsmen. Stripped down to bare metal, it was completely rebuilt and refinished in a radiant Silver Grey metallic paint. The interior is upholstered in rich Maroon Red leather, perfectly matched with a Maroon Red Sonnenland fabric soft top. Adding a final touch of classic charm is the ivory-colored steering wheel, a detail that completes the look with grace.

The Legacy of the W113 Pagoda

The W113 was created under the guidance of legendary figures such as Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, combining the engineering DNA of the iconic 300 SL with the reliability of the W111 “Heckflosse.” The result was a groundbreaking roadster: sporty, safe, and effortlessly elegant. Its distinctively shaped removable hardtop earned it the affectionate nickname “Pagoda,” a tribute to its harmony of design and engineering.

Under the hood sits a robust 2.8-liter inline-six engine, paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission. With ample power and generous torque, the driving experience feels remarkably modern, further enhanced by well-balanced suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, and the unmistakable solidity of Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship.

A Collector’s Choice

This is not a restoration candidate or a driver-grade vehicle. It is a fully restored, collector-quality 280 SL that’s ready to be shown and celebrated. Every aspect is right—from the panel alignment and brightwork to the smoothness of the drivetrain. No shortcuts, just quality, exactly as it left the showroom in 1969.
