The story behind this collectible...

- The Mercedes 280 SL Pagode. A place of worship for convertible fans. -

In the early 1960s, Walter Hitzinger, the boss of Mercedes, was looking for a middle ground between the 300 SL Gullwing (slow flying) and the 190 SL, which was basically reserved for women with big sun hats. Then in 1963 they presented the W113, which quickly became popularly known as the "Pagode," thanks to the shape of the hardtop that came with it for the winter months. Now, almost 60 years later, an absolute cult. We couldn't agree more!

The chassis was a shortened chassis of the W111 S-class generation, an M180 six-in-line that was actually a redeveloped aircraft engine. Extended nose, large Bakelite steering wheel, rear-wheel drive.... Need we say more?

Ours? A neat grau blau metallic on beige leather example that has been getting happy miles in the Netherlands for 25 years. Equipped with air conditioning, Becker radio, a tracking system, cruise control and front to rear stainless steel exhaust system. Always maintained in the Netherlands by a well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist who has blessed this example for its new adventure.
