Service history: Present

General information:
The Mercedes 280 SL is the successor to the Mercedes 250 SL that was built until 1967, the year in which the 280 SL first came onto the market. The timeless, clean design that started with the Mercedes 300 SE saloon in 1961 was continued in the 230/ 250/ 280 SL series; according to many, still the most beautiful classic Mercedes since the sixties. The 280 SL is characterized by a very refined, lively, driving behavior and very good constructive and technical build quality. In addition, the car offers a lot of space, comfort and practical ease of use. The open two-person roadster can be fitted with a hardtop, transforming the car into a closed coupé. The Mercedes-Benz 230/ 250/ 280 SL series was nicknamed "Pagoda" because of its hardtop styling. From 1967 to 1971, Mercedes produced approximately 23,885 of the W113, 280SL "Pagoda". It is also the latest update of the SOHC M180 inline-six by Mercedes-Benz and buyers could choose an optional limited-slip differential. Heavier than its predecessors, the 230SL and 250SL, the 280 SL is popular among car enthusiasts and is known as one of the most reliable and sturdy Mercedes-Benz models ever produced.
Specific information
This beautiful Mercedes 280 SL in the color dark red with black leather upholstery. It also has a manual gearbox and that makes the car special. Originally this is an American model, which can be seen by the special headlights. The condition of the car is beautiful and it drives great too. The linen roof also still looks good. Under the hood you see a dry engine where a lot has been done. A great 280 SL for the enthusiast.
