This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a beautifully restored example of the iconic W113 series, famously known as the "Pagoda" due to the distinctive concave shape of its removable hardtop. While 1967 marked the debut year for the 280 SL, it represented the pinnacle of the model's evolution, featuring the larger $2.8-liter M130 inline-six engine which offered a significant improvement in power and torque over its predecessors, the 230 SL and 250 SL. This particular car is a highly attractive, well-resolved example of the most mature and effortless version of the series, presented in outstanding condition throughout. BODYWORK & PAINT The body is straight, crisp, and well-assembled, featuring very good panel alignment and a notably clean overall presentation. The paintwork is of a high standard, exhibiting excellent gloss, depth, and consistency with no known scratches, dents, or rust issues. Complementing the body, the brightwork, glass, and lights are in excellent condition. All seals and exterior trim appear to have been restored or renewed to a level that provides a very strong and highly convincing visual presence. TECHNICAL Widely regarded as the most refined iteration of the W113, this 280 SL starts readily from both cold and warm, with the engine running smoothly and quietly. Power delivery is progressive, and the gearbox operates with smooth, reassuring engagement. The brakes, suspension, and tires are all in excellent condition, ensuring the car feels solid and settled on the road. There are no known mechanical faults or issues requiring attention, reflecting a car that is both correctly sorted and properly restored. INTERIOR The cabin has been restored to a very high standard, where the seats, upholstery, dashboard, and door cards contribute to an elegant and complete atmosphere. The interior's harmony is a standout feature, with no elements appearing tired or unfinished. All switches, gauges, and controls are in excellent visual condition and function exactly as intended. The result is a highly inviting space that matches the quality and correctness found throughout the rest of the vehicle.
