About this car
The 280 SL was the last and most developed version of the W113 'Pagoda' SL, named for its concave hardtop. It used a fuel-injected 2.8-litre straight-six making roughly 170 bhp, and this car pairs it with the four-speed manual gearbox and right-hand drive, a combination that suits UK roads.
The car is finished in metallic grey over saddle brown leather. It spent time in a private collection of classic Mercedes-Benz cars on the Isle of Man, where it was restored between 2013 and 2014. The work was photographed throughout, and the car was later used at Mercedes-Benz events.
The page lists 2,282 miles and one previous owner. The page and listing data give the year as 1971, though the dealer's text refers to it as a 1970 car.
