About this car

This 280 SL is a W113 'Pagoda' that has been restored to concours standard by marque specialists, and the dealer says it is one of three such restored cars it has for sale. It is finished in blue over parchment leather, a period-correct combination, and was delivered new to Great Britain as a right-hand-drive car.

The notable change from standard is a six-speed manual conversion, which replaces the original four-speed gearbox. The original four-speed transmission is said to be available with the car. It also has power steering and comes with both hard and soft tops.

The page describes every component, seen or unseen, as restored to factory specification using modern paints and materials, and mentions delivery mileage and extensive history. It gives a date of manufacture of 1969, although the listing is titled 1968. No odometer figure or registration is stated. Viewing is by appointment in the UK.
