About This Car
1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda (W113) Automatic
Silver Grey (180) with Blue Leather (245) and Dark Blue Soft Top (744)
Of the 23,855 Mercedes-Benz W113 ‘Pagoda’ SL cars produced between 1967 and 1971, just 830 cars were built in that final year. This 280SL is one of those final 830 cars.
Known to The SL Shop for some time, this well travelled Pagoda has enjoyed extensive touring around the UK. It has been carefully maintained, with special attention paid to the driving experience.
A rare late car that drives exactly as a good Pagoda should, in the iconic Silver that has befitted many a fine classic Mercedes-Benz.

Where will your Mercedes-Benz take you?
Bulkhead Corrosion
Although the R107 is renowned for build quality, there is one chink in the armour – the bulkhead. Many cars that present well from the outside are hiding internal rust. Water from outside the car should drain out through specially designed channels, but over time, these become blocked forcing water inside the car. Once water has breached the blower motor cover in front of the windscreen, it slowly wreaks havoc from inside out. This delicate area did not have rust protection from the factory, and as the metal deteriorates it the water ingress can lead to faulty electrics, damp carpets and musty smells inside the cabin.
All our cars come with a 36 month bulkhead warranty.
