Replacing the iconic Mercedes-Benz 190SL and 300 SL is no easy feat; the German legends stole hearts while driving by on the motorway and powering through racetracks. What came after the iconic pair was the equally impressive Mercedes-Benz Pagoda, with a unique design and as the golden standard of German engineering driving off the dealership floors in those days was nothing but smiles. This well-preserved 1970 Mercedes- Benz 280SL Pagoda is present today in all its glory, with a reported 59,050 miles on the clock; this low mileage example is a near-factory example and yours to enjoy.
Exterior and Interior
This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda isn't just a low mileage example but one that's been preserved exceptionally well over its lifetime; all this shows the moment you glance at the lovely white exterior. The body is in excellent condition, with original features such as the fishbowl headlights and iconic pagoda design cues all in great shape; even the chrome roof guards are in place, and in excellent condition to boot. The lovely original Mercedes-Benz hubcaps compete hard to steal attention too, and there’s reportedly a set of fresh whitewall tires for originality and safe running. While modern-day performance and practicality appeal to many modern buyers, you are lost in the pale colors and tech to keep you distracted. This 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda distracts you in the most fascinating way possible. The olive green interior boasts leather seats and a lot of analog equipment to throw it back to the good old days; what tops this off is the current owner reporting that the car's interior is all original. Sit back and relax, and you are treated to the original AM/FM radio, and analog VDO clock serving as nice conversation pieces when driving about.
Engine
In terms of powertrain options, this 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda sports the biggest powertrain on offer with the range. Under the hood of this German beauty is the legendary M130 (2.8L) inline six engines. The well-engineered engine provides practical classic car ownership that boasts a smooth drive feel. This car wants you to kick back and relax as you drive, and that's where the four-speed automatic transmission sends its power gently to the rear wheels, and power steering system comes in handy.
This 1983 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL captures the elegant grand-touring character that made the R107 one of Mercedes-Benz’s most enduring roadsters. Showing approximately 112,669 miles, this European-specification example pairs its 2.8L naturally aspirated M110 inline-six with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Champagne Metallic over a Brazil leather interior, it also features both a brown convertible soft top and a removable body-colored hardtop, giving it genuine year-round versatility. European-market headlights and bumpers, classic 14-inch Bundt alloy wheels, and period-correct cabin details give this 280 SL the unmistakable look and feel of an early-1980s Mercedes roadster.
The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL represented the final and most refined evolution of the legendary W113 “Pagoda” series, combining elegant styling with dependable engineering and grand touring comfort. Today, the W113 remains one of the marque’s most sought-after classics thanks to its timeless design and robust mechanicals. This 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL has traveled just 41,794 miles and is finished in Pine Green over a Black interior, creating a sophisticated color combination that suits the car’s graceful lines. Equipped with a desirable 4-speed manual transmission, Frigiking air conditioning, and tasteful period accessories, this Pagoda offers a rewarding analog driving experience while remaining equally at home on weekend tours or at concours events.
Mercedes-Benz’s R107-generation SL is one of the longest-running and most beloved roadster platforms in automotive history, blending timeless styling, refined engineering, and open-top grand touring capability. This 1986 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL shows 78,616 miles and presents as a well-kept example finished in Signal Red over a Palomino interior. Powered by the smooth M110 inline-six engine and equipped with both a black convertible soft top and a body-colored removable hardtop, this SL offers year-round versatility. Additional highlights include reupholstered seating surfaces, refreshed carpeting, wood interior trim, and the desirable Becker Grand Prix radio, making this classic Mercedes an appealing choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The 1973 Mercedes-Benz 350 SL comes from the early years of the R107 generation, a period when Mercedes-Benz was still establishing the naming conventions that would define the model in the U.S. market. Showing approximately 106,842 miles, this example is finished in red over a Parchment interior and features both a removable hardtop and convertible soft top. One of the more interesting details is the 350 SL badging paired with the 4.5L V8 specification. Early U.S.-market R107s were sold with 350 SL badging despite using the larger 4.5L V8, before Mercedes-Benz transitioned the U.S. designation to 450 SL. That makes the badging part of the car’s period character rather than simply a mismatch.
The 1988 Mercedes-Benz 560 SL represents the final and most developed era of the long-running R107 roadster, combining classic Mercedes-Benz styling with V8 power and open-top grand touring appeal. Showing approximately 90,617 miles, this example is finished in Astral Silver Metallic over Royal Blue leather and is equipped with both a Dark Blue convertible soft top and a removable body-color hardtop. Features such as 15-inch Gullideckel alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, power accessories, and period aftermarket equipment including a cellular car phone and Alpine audio head unit give this 560 SL a distinctive blend of factory luxury and late-1980s character.
This 1999 Mercedes-Benz G 320 is a particularly appealing short-wheelbase W463, combining the compact proportions enthusiasts seek with a thoughtful mix of original Mercedes-Benz hardware and later upgrades. Showing approximately 50,797 actual miles, this European-import example is finished in Tanzanite Blue Metallic over a reupholstered tan leather interior. Its 3.2L naturally aspirated M112 V6, 5-speed automatic, and 4WD preserve the classic G-Class mechanical character, while later OEM Mercedes-Benz body components, Bilstein shocks, modern lighting, upgraded audio, and smartphone connectivity make it considerably easier to enjoy today.
