The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class legacy began in 1954, with the gorgeous 300SL Gullwing. Its breathtaking lines and exciting performance made it a real treat to behold. Mercedes-Benz followed up in 1963 with the W113, also known as the Pagoda due to its roof shape in hardtop form. This particular 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a convertible, however it does come with a nice little surprise too. It’s also a Euro-Spec version that was repainted around a decade ago. With about 60,000 miles to its name, this car is a great German classic for you to pick up and turn heads wherever you choose to take it. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t like a classic Mercedes-Benz? It’s the epitome of taste, after all.
Exterior and Interior
This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL shows off its Friedrich Geiger and Paul Bracq-penned lines in a nice white coat. The car is said to be all original style, right down to its steel wheels with white Mercedes-Benz Star-toting center caps. We’re told that the navy blue canvas convertible top is new, and with it down you’ll enjoy a truly amazing open-air driving experience. As for the nice little surprise that we mentioned? It’s a removable hardtop that was optional at the time! Yes, you can get the Pagoda look as well as the best weatherproofing possible when the seasons turn for the colder and wetter. The interior of this 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL comes in black and is a three-seater. How, you ask? Let us explain. You’ve got two regular seats for driver and front passenger, upholstered in black leather. Behind these is a single, sideways-facing seat for strictly occasional use. The car’s interior includes a redone wooden dashboard, and is said to be new, from around ten years ago. The car also includes a suitably spacious trunk since it’s a grand tourer meant to cover great distances.
