The Mercedes-Benz 280SL “Pagoda” (W113) is one of the most celebrated roadsters ever produced – a perfect blend of elegance, engineering, and understated sporting flair. Designed by Paul Bracq, its distinctive concave hardtop roof earned the nickname “Pagoda” and remains one of the most recognisable Mercedes silhouettes of all time.

This example is presented in right-hand drive and comes with its removable hardtop, showcasing the car’s clean proportions and timeless profile. Please note that this is a California version without the soft top. The vehicle has had the addition of an aircon system fitted. The car retains all the style and usability expected of a classic SL.

Under the bonnet, the 2.8-litre inline-six with Bosch fuel injection delivers smooth, reliable performance – a hallmark of Mercedes-Benz’s engineering mastery of the era. Inside, the cabin exudes period charm with a driver-focused layout and quality materials throughout.

For collectors, the 280SL Pagoda represents a blue-chip investment – equally at home in a serious collection or enjoyed as a weekend driver. With values of these models continuing to climb worldwide, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Mercedes-Benz history.

An elegant  roadster with enduring appeal – ready for its next chapter.
