Description
The car we are presenting to you
The Mercedes 280 SL Pagoda we are presenting is a superb example imported from California in 2010. Kept in remarkable condition, it has belonged to the same owner since 2013. The owner undertook a complete mechanical restoration, scrupulously respecting the original specifications. In 2018, the engine was rebuilt to factory specifications, the gearbox refreshed, and the engine bay fully restored for more than €57, 000 at the Bracq Heritage Workshops, near Bordeaux, renowned for their expertise with classic Mercedes-Benz models. Since then, the car has covered only 3, 000 kilometres.
However, it also bears witness to a fine restoration carried out in the United States, with a non-original colour and a few minor cosmetic defects.
This Pagoda benefits from a factory options list confirmed by the build plate:
Code 426: 4-speed automatic transmission, a hallmark of comfort and smooth driving, with original power-assisted steering.
Code 491: US version.
Code 513: Passenger-side exterior mirror, rare on period models.
Code 515: Becker Europe radio installed at the factory, a symbol of refinement.
Code 670 H: Exterior colour Light Ivory, elegant and typical of classic Mercedes.
Code 423 H: Hardtop colour code and Tobacco Brown hubcaps, a harmonious original combination.
Code 6: Hard-top fitted to the vehicle, soft top folded.
The technical inspection is up to date and shows no defects, confirming the car’s perfect working condition. Moreover, its exemplary road manners and meticulous styling attest to the care lavished on its preservation.
With its timeless elegance, its original mechanics and its transparent history, this car
