Three new Mercedes-Benz SLs in the showroom

Here at SLSHOP it’s been a very busy start to 2021, with a number of cars finding new homes. This week we’ve re-homed an Arctic White 300SL, the second car sold in that colour so far this year.

Arctic White 300SL… SOLD
Arctic White 500SL… SOLD

As cars move out of the showroom, new cars are waiting in the wings to take pride of place. This week we have three additions to introduce, an entry level R107 300SL and two very interesting Pagoda SLs.


1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL ‘California’ Pagoda (W113)
Signal Red with Beige Leather

It’s been a little while since we hosted a Pagoda in Signal Red, despite seeing so many R107s in this very popular colour. Adding this car to the offering seemed entirely fitting, especially as we published our explanation of R107 paint colours and discussed the popularity of Signal Red in this article earlier in the week.

What makes this Pagoda so interesting is the fact that it’s a California Coupe, being fitted with a fold up bench seat instead of the retractable soft top. It’s also a 250SL, the rarest of all Pagodas, and an original UK car. When you distill the entire Pagoda range down to model specifics, there really cannot be many Right Hand Drive, UK ordered 250SL California Coupes at all.

Even more interesting is the service history that’s present with the car. The first owner racked up an impressive 54,000 miles between 1967 and 1971, all verified in a green service book that carefully documents the first few years of the car’s active life.

A beautiful car to look and and to drive, incredibly rare, unusual and now available to buy.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Automatic Pagoda
Silver with Navy Blue Leather and Blue Fabric Soft top

The second Pagoda we have to showcase this week is also a very special car. We won’t dwell on the fact that it’s a 280SL Auto ordered new in the UK, the fact that these cars still hog the limelight in the Pagoda market is already well documented.

Subject to a very high quality restoration some 15 years ago, it sits like a jewel in the crown of our showroom. Time has been extremely kind to this car – you’d never guess that the work was carried out a decade and a half ago. Not only was the work done to a very high standard, but everything is documented within the file that’s present with the car.

You can read more about this car on our website, but the key thing that we really love about this SL is the fact that it has attended so many shows in recent years. Within the paperwork we find stubs and receipts for a great many classic car shows, steam rallies and events, evidence of a very well used and well loved car – but it’s also a show queen, indeed a show winner.

One to be used and adored, polished and displayed in equal measure. The quintessential Pagoda that owners seek.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 300SL
Blue Black Metallic (199) with Grey MB Tex (178) and
Blue Black Metallic Hardtop (199) and Black Fabric Soft Top (9001)

Our final new addition this week is the very sort of SL that R107 enthusiasts get excited about – a late model car in a desirable colour with optional rear seats. Blue Black Metallic is a beautiful shade, one that has never been out of fashion and never looks out of place. In certain lights the black as all you see, but catch it with the sun down low and you’ll notice the deep blue hue almost hidden within the paint. This is a great colour for an R107, and this is a car that we know well.

Offered as an ‘entry level car’ that’s ready for a little improvement, this is a car that we first sold in 2015 and have recently helped to improve with some major works undertaken.

A lovely car that’s ready for someone who wants to get in and drive.
