About this car

The W113 "Pagoda" SL is one of the most recognisable Mercedes-Benz roadsters, and the 280 SL is the one to have, with its fuel-injected 2.8-litre straight-six. This 1969 car is paired with an automatic gearbox and is finished in light ivory over a brown interior, with a matching brown soft top.

The car has been through a full restoration. The dealer says all corrosion was removed from the chassis before it was primed and repainted, and that the engine and mechanicals were rebuilt. The interior is entirely new.

The odometer shows 31,000 km, which is roughly 19,260 miles. The car is Belgian-registered, and the page gives the plate as O-AFH-476.
