About this car
This W113 280SL is a left-hand-drive Pagoda built in July 1970 for the US market, and it has the four-speed manual gearbox. That combination is unusual, as most American-market cars were ordered with an automatic. It is finished in metallic silver over black leather and comes with a matching hard top.
The car has been converted to European specification, with Euro headlights, side repeaters and slimmer bumpers in place of the US-market fittings. The page describes a repaint, a very well preserved interior, and sound sills and floors. Mileage is given as 42,000.
History includes a 2024 confirmation letter from Mercedes-Benz UK confirming its US supply, the North America Dealer Directory and the original instruction manual. A large stack of invoices records maintenance and repairs, much of it carried out by the selling dealer. Its latest keeper used it for touring in Europe.
