1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda (W113)
This beautifully presented 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL represents the pinnacle of the W113 “Pagoda” series — the final and most refined evolution of the 113 chassis, distinguished by its crisp styling, robust engineering, and exceptional road manners. Designed under Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, the Pagoda earned its nickname from the elegant concave shape of its removable hardtop, combining safety-focused construction with unmistakable style. Today, the 280 SL remains one of the most desirable post-war Mercedes sports tourers, and this example offers both collectible pedigree and confident drivability thanks to tasteful updates and continued care.
Power comes from the M130 2.8-liter inline-six — the largest and most powerful engine fitted to the W113 — paired with an automatic transmission for smooth and effortless cruising. The car features both tops: a manually operated soft top for open-air driving and a winter-ready removable hardtop showcasing the iconic Pagoda roofline. This dual-top configuration enhances year-round versatility and collectability.
Finished in fresh paint applied less than three years ago, the exterior presents with a deep, refined shine that compliments the car’s timeless proportions and fine chrome detailing. Inside, the cabin has been refreshed with newer upholstery that maintains the period-correct look while offering improved comfort. A modern Europa radio upgraded with USB connectivity provides contemporary convenience without compromising the original style of the dashboard. Air conditioning is equipped as well, making this Pagoda a practical and enjoyable companion even in warm climates.
The 280 SL’s reputation was built on usability — a grand-touring sports convertible engineered for real-world roads rather than racetracks — and this example fully embraces that heritage. It offers an ideal blend of originality and thoughtful modernization, making it perfectly suited for weekend drives, vintage rallies, or casual concours display.
This 1970 280 SL Pagoda is a standout opportunity for the enthusiast seeking a turnkey classic Mercedes: elegant, well-optioned, and ready to enjoy.
