Pretty and rare original European delivered Pagode, not to be compared with the numerous USA imports currently offered on the market. A échte classic for the enthusiast, equipped with the hand switched transmission, a particularly sought after combination by connoisseurs and enthusiasts. Includes the hardtop, which makes it a real and original PAGODE.
Highlights
- Original EU model: delivered new in Sweden (December 1969)
- 2.8 liter six-in-line engine with about 170 hp, rear-wheel drive
- Four-speed manual transmission
- Restoration performed in 2018, including new paint job and soft top
- Hardtop present in body color (Papyrus white)
- Softtop present in black
- Interior in black leather, with original controls and heaters per side
- Steel rims with crème chrome hubcaps
- No rust under the rear seat, which is a known problem.
Condition
>.The car is in very clean condition.
In 2018 completely repainted and partially restored. The soft top was also replaced at that time. This example also has the characteristic inlets around the headlights as they were originally intended from the factory. That detail seems small, but is recognizable to connoisseurs as a sign of craftsmanship and meticulousness. It confirms that this Pagoda was not treated lightly, but was preserved with expertise and an eye for originality.
This example shows no rust under the rear seats or on the bottom parts, areas that are actually prone to deterioration in many Pagodas. The floor panels and sills are hard and clean, indicating that this car was always kept dry and carefully. A detail that connoisseurs notice immediately and underscores the condition of this Pagoda.
History
An exceptionally complete Pagoda with a well-documented maintenance history. Original booklets and invoice folder present.
Summary
This Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda is a stylish and desirable classic, with proper European specifications and a manual transmission. A wonderful car to add to any collection, or to enjoy carefree on sunny drives.
