A timeless and collectible classic roadster, this is the final and most powerful iteration of the Mercedes-Benz ‘Pagoda’, the 280 SL – presented in Burgundy Red with a matching hardtop. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.8-litre inline-six engine, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. This example is an original Australian-delivered, right-hand drive model, originally supplied by York Star Motors in Sydney. It has only recently been acquired by the seller. The odometer indicates 21,718 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1970 The 280 SL is the most advanced variant of the W113-generation SL, featuring improved performance and refinement over its predecessors. This example is finished in its factory-specified shade of Burgundy Red with a colour-matched ‘Pagoda’ removable hardtop, presented with its original hardtop trolley. The interior is trimmed in cream leather upholstery, complemented by body-coloured dashboard accents, red carpets, and chrome and wood trim. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels with chrome and body-coloured hubcaps, fitted with Vitour Galaxy R1 tyres. Equipment includes a top-tinted windscreen, a two-spoke steering wheel, VDO gauges, an analogue clock, heater and ventilation controls, and a locking glove compartment. This example has been fitted with a modern retro-style stereo. This example is supplied with two original keys, a CTek battery charger, a spare wheel, the original Becker Mexico cassette stereo, and a substantial folder of historical receipts and documents, including the York Star Motors delivery stamp and Australian compliance plate. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the paintwork is described as fair, with evidence of previous repainting over the car’s lifetime. The interior trim presents with age-related wear.

This Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda is a wonderfully presented example of the iconic W113 generation roadster, finished in a rare and elegant Burgundy Red finish. Retaining its original engine and accompanied by extensive documentation, it would make a desirable addition to any collection of classic Mercedes-Benz models. Ready to be enjoyed as a refined weekend cruiser or shown at concours events, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished 280 SL.
