Description
FOR SALE: A German-supplied W113 280SL auto, one of the very last Pagodas built.
EQUIPMENT
Folding soft-top, Electric windows, RetroSound Radio, Lockable glove compartment, Boot carpet mat, Spare wheel with cover.
EXTERIOR
This attractive SL is finished in the timeless colour combination of white with red upholstery. Built for the German market in February 1971 this car was one of the very last Pagodas to be manufactured, with production ending later that month just 233 SLs later. As a European specification model there are no side repeaters or unnecessary over-riders to the bumpers, giving a much cleaner finish than US examples. The bumpers themselves retain an excellent mirror shine and the paintwork also appears fresh throughout, with no wear or blemishes to be found.
INTERIOR
The charming SL interior remains in good condition throughout. Commonly worn items such as the steering wheel, dash fascia and wood trim appear in fine fettle with no damage to report. The upholstery and door cards are without any notable wear and the carpets are free from any rips. A matching carpet mat is present in the rear luggage compartment where the spare wheel can also be found, still in its original vinyl cover.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 2. 8-litre straight-six starts without fuss and idles up to temperature smoothly. The car has been mechanically prepared for sale by marque specialist SS Motors, who have just conducted a full service and light re-commissioning. The Pagoda is now in excellent fettle and performs well on test. It is complete with an advisory-free MOT until January 2019.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The 14-inch steels still sport the correct polished hubcaps with body-coloured centres. They each present with a bright finish and no unsightly curb marking to report. The wheels are shod in a matching set of Michelin MXV tyres with almost no wear to speak of. The brake fluid has recently been changed and new front brake pads have also just been fitted.
HISTORY FILE
This late 280SL rolled off the production line in February 1971 making it one of the very last W113 SLs built. Finished in its original colour combination of white with red upholstery this Pagoda presents an excellent opportunity to own a lovely investment-grade Mercedes.
Originally supplied to Germany when new, the car has recently been imported into the UK with all taxes paid. Upon arrival it was sent to Mercedes specialist SS Motors where a full service and light mechanical re-commissioning were carried out to ensure smooth operation. The car is now in excellent fettle and is complete with an advisory-free MOT until January 2019. A Date of Manufacture letter from Mercedes along with a copy of the original data card is present in the history file. The car will be sold UK registered for the new keeper’s peace of mind.
