Whether you're looking to add a classic 280SL "Pagoda" to your
collection or you're a first time buyer seeking a great collector
car, here is one that merits your consideration. These are not only
great driving, high quality automobiles but are proving to be good
investments as well. As car enthusiasts ourselves, we say buy for
the fun but we know it doesn't hurt that a car has shown good value
appreciation over time as these have. Finished in a very attractive
exterior/interior color combination, this 280 is an older
restoration that is still holding up very well. That means close
inspection may reveal a few minor paint blemishes but it also means
the restoration was quality work. When shortcuts are taken, paint
and body problems have a way of reappearing after two or three
years (if not sooner) and that's not the case here. Consistent with
the quality work, this car's body has great panel gaps, no rust
issues, and the overall paint appearance belies the fact that it
was done some years back. The interior was done to a high standard
and the leather seats and carpets exhibit virtually no wear. The
dash wood is excellent as well. The car has both hard and soft
tops. The soft top is new, well fitted, and in the correct
material. Mechanically, it's in great shape too. The engine has
been rebuilt, holds the proper oil pressure, doesn't smoke and runs
in the correct temperature range. The transmission works as it
should and with a rebuilt suspension and brakes, you can be
confident it drives as well as it looks. Please call/text Mike
