The Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda, produced from 1967 to 1971, is an iconic convertible and coup\u00e9 known for its elegant shape and exceptional design. The name “Pagoda” comes from the characteristic inwardly curved roofline, reminiscent of Asian pagodas. <\/p>\n
Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda from 1st hand!<\/strong><\/p>\n Under the hood of the 280SL is a powerful 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine, which offers an output of around 170 hp and a maximum torque of 240 Nm. This engine enables impressive acceleration and ensures dynamic driving pleasure. The 280SL was available with both a 4-speed manual transmission and a 4-speed automatic transmission. As the vehicle was delivered without headrests, the lines look particularly elegant. And the fact that the original three-point seat belts installed are rigid means that you can still legally drive in the 21st century without wearing your seat belts – if you wish to do so.<\/p>\n Very good documentation with service booklet, first purchase invoice, copy of the old vehicle registration document, data cards and operating instructions.

Special leather upholstery, power steering, leather cross-seat in the rear, front seat belts and the iconic coup\u00e9 roof, also in dark red, were the extras at the time.
The vehicle was in use for the Brackwede company for several summers before the entrepreneur took over his sports car privately. After his death, it became the property of his son, who then had it professionally decommissioned in 1990.
It is in absolutely original condition and has never been restored.
2024 entrusted by the buyer’s grandson to bring the vehicle back to life.
We discovered that it was a vehicle with matching numbers, whose bodywork had been repainted in the original dark red 542 color in the same shade of the period quality and was technically in immaculate condition. There was only a superficial rust spot under the battery, which we removed professionally. Otherwise, the bodywork, which we stripped of all add-on parts and carefully inspected during the recommissioning process, was completely free of rust and corresponding “touch-ups”. The notorious body openings under the headlights had already been welded shut in the past using the old method with metal sheets, which were then painted in the same color as the car, including the weld seams. Over the years, we have rarely come across such a good, actually perfect body substance.
