About this car

This is a 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL, the final and most desirable development of the W113 "Pagoda" line. It is a left-hand-drive automatic car, finished in light metallic blue with dark blue Nappa leather, including the headrests and the rear third seat.

The car has had a full nut-and-bolt restoration covering the engine, gearbox, suspension, axle, exhaust and chrome. Factory air conditioning and power steering are fitted, and it comes with both hard and soft tops. Restoration additions include heated front seats, central locking and an iPod connection to the stereo.

The dealer reports about 7,000 miles since the rebuild. The listing is currently marked as on hold, with no price shown.
