Description

The 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda is a beautifully restored open-top grand tourer that rewards relaxed long-distance driving with a smooth, cultured character. Its light steering and poised chassis make it engaging on winding roads while the removable hardtop lets you enjoy motoring in all seasons, combining the intimacy of a roadster with coupe-like refinement.

Finished in Black with Cream leather, this example feels purposeful yet civilised, offering comfortable seating for two and usable luggage space for weekend escapes. With just over 600 miles since a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration and an extensive history file, it blends classic presence with confident usability.
