There is little doubt that Paul Bracq's design for the Sixties 1960s pagoda was revolutionary and his ability to mix timeless styling with high performance on three different levels was impressive. The entry level version used the 2.3 litre engine followed by the 2.5 and finally the most desirable and spirited 2.8 litre, six-cylinder engine. The bonnet panel, door skins, boot lid and tonneau cover were composed of aluminium giving the car an overall lightness which contributed to the performance that was very well received by the general public. It quickly became apparent that some cars don't change, they just get better. The 280 featured the same modified W111 chassis with independent front suspension and four-wheel disc brakes. A charming model with capable handling, these roadsters have had one of the most sublime styling bodies, and easily comparable to Jaguar's E-Type and the Alfa Romeo's Spider. The driving experience and build quality are respected, and as a result, still highly collectable today.
This very good, left-hand drive 1971 Mercedes Benz 280 SL Pagoda was imported to the UK in 2021 from California where it is believed to have had only two owners from new. Supplied with an automatic gearbox and matching factory hard top, it has been retro fitted with air conditioning and a more modern radio. Finished in blue with blue leather interior and it has a blue soft top which will require replacing, due to a lack of use causing it to have been torn. This 280 SL is UK taxes paid and supplied with a V5 registration document. These Pagodas are always a pleasure to drive, particularly in good weather when the roof is down and the smooth six-cylinder engine can really be enjoyed. Consigned by John Tomlin
