Dolce Vita
Considered by many specialists as one of the finest cabriolets of the late 1960s, the SL W113 has no shortage of appeal
Affectionately nicknamed the "Pagoda" due to its distinctive concave hard-top, flattering descriptions have always accompanied it since the start of its international star career: futuristic (it was a styling revolution when it debuted), graceful, elegant, reliable, comfortable, ahead of its time…
It is a classic unanimously appreciated by collectors.
The example we are presenting for sale is of considerable interest to an enthusiast seeking a truly fine example with a remarkable history.
Delivered new in France, equipped with an exceptionally rare 5-speed manual ZF gearbox (fewer than 350 Pagoda 280 SLs are believed to have been originally fitted with this), this lovely W113 is ready to take to the road without further delay.
