About this car

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a right-hand-drive W113 'Pagoda', the final and most capable version of the long-running SL. It has the 2.8-litre six-cylinder engine, an automatic gearbox and power steering, a combination that suits the car's grand touring character.

It is finished in Medium Blue Metallic (DB396) over parchment leather, a period-correct pairing. The dealer says the car has had a concours-level restoration by marque specialists, covering every component, and that it comes with extensive history and full provenance. It is described as one of three restored 280 SLs the dealer has for sale.

The car has delivery mileage and comes with both hard and soft tops. It is UK delivered, and viewing is by appointment.
