We are delighted to offer for sale this truly exceptional Mercedes-Benz SL280 Pagoda, finished in the elegant and distinctive Anthrazit Metallic paint.

This stunning example has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration by the renowned restoration and marque specialist Kienle Automobiltechnik GmbH, who were acquired by Mercedes Benz in 2023, hence the start of the Mercedes Benz Heritage Division, thus ensuring it is in impeccable condition throughout. Every detail has been meticulously addressed, presenting a car that not only drives beautifully but is a true testament to the care and craftsmanship invested in it.

The interior is equally remarkable, featuring luxurious Black Leather upholstery complemented by an Ivory Steering Wheel – a combination that exudes sophistication and timeless style. With its sleek design and impeccable finish, this Pagoda is a true icon of automotive elegance.
