Description
The Mercedes 280SL Pagode for sale, produced between 1967 and 1971, is an icon of 1960s-70s automotive design. Nicknamed “Pagode” because of the concave shape of its removable hardtop, it embodies the perfect balance between sportiness, comfort and sophistication.
Powered by a 2. 8-litre inline-six engine developing 170 horsepower, the 280 SL offers smooth and precise handling, worthy of Mercedes-Benz standards of the era. Coupled with an automatic gearbox (or manual depending on the version), it stands out with a remarkable driving pleasure, both in the city and on the open road.
This 1971 example comes in a superb tobacco brown shade, elegant and subtle, perfectly suited to the refined spirit of the model. Its overall very well-kept condition bears witness to meticulous maintenance respectful of the original. The coffee-coloured interior, in excellent condition, helps make this example a particularly desirable collector’s piece.
With its design signed by Paul Bracq, its fluid silhouette and harmonious proportions, the Pagode remains one of the most sought-after Mercedes models by collectors and classic-car enthusiasts.
A chic, reliable and timeless roadster – perfect for weekend getaways or to enrich a collection of prestigious vehicles.
