What we have here is no less than a stunning matching numbers 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL “Pagoda”.

The car has been properly looked after. The first owner made an excellent choice when it came to accessories. He ordered a 280SL with a hardtop, Burgundy red leather upholstery and a front screen sun-strip. The car was original an American supplied car and has been in the Netherlands since 1992.

Being in very good condition is the best way to describe this car. The bodywork’s great panelwork has a fine and well maintained black finish. The hardtop too is in great condition with very neat chrome and paintwork. There are of course the iconic steel rims with chrome hubcaps and colour-coded centres to consider. The Michelin tyres are of the correct size with ample tread. To top it all the car has a good quality well fitted soft-top.

On the inside we find the previously mentioned Burgundy red leather, augmented by red carpeting.

The well presented interior is set off supremely by the white steering wheel. The good looking dashboard sports the right type of Becker radio, with a fine array of well maintained instruments and controls.

Mechanically the car has been very well maintained over the years. The SL drives exactly as a classic Mercedes-Benz should. The engine runs perfectly and the automatic has a delightfully slick gearchange. The suspension has good springs and dampers, the responsive brakes are easy on the foot.

This car comes with its Datenkarte conforming it is indeed a matching numbers vehicle.

In summary this is a gorgeous Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda in a rare finish and constellation. Is it possible to find a more stylish Pagoda?
