We are pleased to offer you this special 280 SL Pagoda from the production year 1969. Characteristic of the sought-after early models are the red taillights, which indicate the young year of manufacture and were only installed for a short time before the three-color taillights were introduced. The manual transmission is also not commonplace among 280 Pagodas and does simply fabulous in this engine. Technically, this dream roadster delivers what its perfect looks promise. The silky-smooth running inline six harmonizes perfectly with the manual transmission and exudes a touch of sportiness in this dream classic. The vehicle was imported to its birthplace from Evansville (Indiana) in 2014 and rebuilt with great attention to detail and to a high standard by its then owner in the years that followed. The result can really be seen and speaks for itself. Thus, we were able to sell the vehicle in 2017 to a dedicated Mercedes-Benz fan from whose collection we may now offer this treasure.
