The Mercedes W113 type, nick-named "Pagoda" due to a distinctive
and patented concave hardtop roofline. Many see as one of the most
beautiful cars ever built. All 280 SL models were equipped with an
inline 6-cylinder engine with mechanical fuel injection. The
comparatively short and wide chassis, combined with an excellent
suspension, powerful brakes and radial tires gave the 280 SL superb
handling for its time.
While early history is unknown, this restored 280 SL is
cosmetically and mechanically in superb condition throughout. This
is an excellent driving example, has always been cared for
mechanically, has never sustained any accident damage and whose
structure is superb.
This 280SL represents a great value for a collector or enthusiast
seeking an enjoyable and reliable vintage Mercedes Benz
Roadster.
