Description
An exceptional 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda, presented in outstanding condition and finished in a rare and elegant color combination of Anthracite Grey (172) over Red leather (299). This example is a fully matching-numbers car, including body, hood, convertible top cover, transmission cover plate, seat components, glove compartment, hardtop, engine, and transmission.
The car retains its original automatic transmission and is equipped with factory air conditioning. Showing 120,000 original miles, it runs and drives extremely well and has proven itself as a reliable touring car, including extended long-distance driving.
Purchased by the current owner eight years ago, the vehicle had already undergone a complete restoration, including paintwork, interior refurbishment, and a new convertible top. Notably, the car was originally ordered with a grey soft top, an uncommon and desirable factory specification.
Inside, the car features a correct Becker radio with original Becker cassette player, a rare and period-correct factory option verified by the original Mercedes-Benz data card, which is included. Additional original accessories include the tool kit, first-aid (medicine) kit, jack, lug wrench, and tire cover.
Extensive photo documentation from the restoration process is included, showing the car completely disassembled during refurbishment. The vehicle has been carefully maintained, remains strictly original in specification, and everything functions as intended.
The car presents beautifully, drives smoothly, and consistently draws admiration wherever it goes. A refined and timeless classic that exemplifies the elegance and engineering excellence of the Pagoda-era Mercedes-Benz.
