1968 | Mercedes-Benz 280 SL

The Pagoda debuted in 1963 as a 230 SL model, replacing the iconic "Gullwing" in the roadster version and the smaller 190 SL model. The light, delicate body line comes from well-deserved French designer Paul Bracq, the chassis was a shortened version of the W111 model, which was characterized, among other things, by controlled crumple zones, which was a novelty at the time. In 1967, the 2.5-liter engine with four-wheel disc brakes was introduced, and shortly after that the most powerful and popular version of the "Pagoda" appeared - the Mercedes 280 SL, as presented in the announcement. This copy, like most Pagodas sold, started overseas. It is equipped with an automatic gearbox, a beautiful green paintwork and a light interior. The setup is adorable as is the condition of this car.
