Description

"I hope it melts, I hope it overheats — we really don’t get along all that well... It’s a Mercedes SL, of course it doesn’t!"— Jeremy Clarkson
The Pagoda: an absolute icon among classic car enthusiasts. And not just because of its stunning looks. Mercedes already had two beautiful convertibles — the 190 SL and the 300 SL Gullwing. But one was too slow and the other far too expensive. So Mercedes introduced this elegant new model, packed with improvements.

Safety was a top priority, but never at the expense of form or elegance. Das Beste oder nichts.

The result? A beautifully clean and balanced design. The roof featured a unique, slightly concave shape engineered to provide extra rollover protection — and because of its resemblance to an Eastern temple, it earned its legendary nickname: Pagoda.

Design and engineering meet in perfect harmony in a cruiser built to glide through life with grace. Timeless and unmistakably Mercedes.

By now you probably know us well enough to expect that we’re always searching for something special — something with character.
This is a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL, originally delivered in Europe and equipped with a rare four-speed manual gearbox. Only 10% of all W113s were built with a manual transmission.

Finished in striking Signal Red with a black leather interior, this car also features a hardtop, air conditioning and a rare optional third rear seat. A seat no human will ever use, but one any loyal four-legged friend would dream of.

Even we are still amazed at how modern this “Sixties Lovely” feels on the road.
Looking for a solid investment? A beautiful classic cruiser? Or both? Come by soon and let’s take it for a drive.
