1968 | Mercedes-Benz 280SL
Overview
This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a beautifully maintained example of the iconic W113 “Pagoda,” finished in classic white with a blue soft top and matching blue removable hardtop. Under previous ownership, the car underwent a comprehensive mechanical overhaul completed approximately ten years ago, addressing the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems to ensure a dependable and engaging driving experience. Power comes from a robust inline-six engine paired with the desirable 4-speed manual transmission, delivering a more connected and involved feel compared to its automatic counterparts.
Inside, the cabin was fully refitted under current ownership in 2021, now featuring a striking blue leather upholstery and blue carpets and trim, complementing the exterior’s timeless color palette. The refreshed upholstery, trim, and interior finishes give the car a clean, tailored look while preserving its vintage character. Whether driven with the hardtop, soft top, or open to the elements, this 280SL captures the elegance and mechanical purity of 1960s grand touring. Well-preserved and thoughtfully updated with Bluetooth connectivity, it’s a charming and road-ready example of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most beloved classics. Now showing just over 20k miles, it is offered with a Seller's Disclosure report and a clean title.
