"I hope it melts, I hope it overheats — we really don’t get along all that well... It’s a Mercedes SL, of course it doesn’t!"— Jeremy Clarkson

The story behind this collectible...

The Pagoda: an absolute household name among classic car enthusiasts. And not just for its stunning looks. Before it, Mercedes had two beautiful convertibles — the 190SL and the 300SL Gullwing. But one was too slow, and the other far too expensive. So Mercedes came up with this elegant new model, packed with improvements.

Safety was a top priority, but never at the expense of form or elegance. Das Beste oder nichts.

The result? A beautifully clean and balanced design. The roof featured a unique, slightly concave shape designed for rollover safety — and just like that, its resemblance to an Oriental temple gave it its nickname: Pagoda. A name that would become legendary.

Design and engineering met in perfect harmony in a cruiser made to glide through life with grace. Timeless and unmistakably Mercedes.

By now, you probably know us a little — and you know we’re always looking for something special. Something with character.
This one’s a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL, originally delivered in Europe, and fitted with a rare 4-speed manual transmission. Only 10% of all W113s were built with a manual gearbox.

Finished in striking Signal Red over a black leather interior, this car also features a hardtop, air conditioning, and a rare optional third seat in the back. A seat no human will likely ever use — but it’s the kind of thing a loyal four-legged friend would dream of.

Even we’re still amazed at how modern this 'Sixties Lovely' feels on the road.Looking for a solid investment? A stunning classic cruiser? Or both?Come by soon — let’s go for a drive.
