About this car

The 280 SL was the last and most powerful of the W113 'Pagoda' line, which Paul Bracq styled around its concave hardtop. It was always more grand tourer than sports car, and this 1968 example, first delivered to the USA, is fitted with the 2.8-litre straight-six and a four-speed automatic.

It is finished in Papyrus White with a Dark Olive hardtop, hub caps and soft top, over dark green trim and carpet. Extras include retrofitted air conditioning, a Becker Europa II stereo and power steering.

The car is described as matching numbers, with a factory data card supplied to confirm it. It had a body and mechanical restoration in 2019/2020, including a rebuilt engine and transmission. No mileage is stated on the page.
