N°02 — The Story
A vehicle with provenance.
## Highlights and general information For sale is a Mercedes-Benz W113 280 SL Pagoda California from 1968 in the color silver gray metallic with a red leather interior.
The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is the last and most mature version of the legendary W113 model series, which was produced between 1963 and 1971. Its elegant design with the characteristic concave hardtop roof line, which earned it the nickname "Pagoda", was created by Paul Bracq and combines timeless aesthetics with functional engineering. Compared to its predecessors, the 280 SL offers technical improvements, including a more powerful 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder engine that ensures superior driving performance. Its combination of style, precision and driving comfort makes it a coveted classic to this day.
