Full restored condition!
Offered for sale is a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL “Pagoda” with automatic transmission, presented in a particularly elegant and timeless colour combination. The body is finished in dark green, Mercedes-Benz colour code 268, complemented by a matching dark green soft top. The interior is trimmed in beige leather, providing a stylish contrast to the dark exterior.
The Mercedes has been in the possession of its current owner for approximately 14 years. He acquired the car from its previous owner in essentially the same condition in which it presents today and has cared for and maintained it with great attention and affection ever since.
The 280 SL underwent an extensive restoration and refurbishment in the late 1990s. Particularly noteworthy is how well the car has aged since this work was carried out. Although the restoration dates back almost 30 years, the Pagoda remains in very attractive condition today. This is testament both to the quality of the restoration work and to the careful ownership and maintenance the car has received throughout the subsequent decades.
The car is accompanied by extensive documentation. All invoices dating back to the restoration are available, providing a detailed record of the work and investment made over the years. In addition, the restoration itself was documented with numerous period photographs, allowing the work carried out at the time to be traced and understood today.
The history file is further complemented by an old original Mercedes-Benz card, which remains with the vehicle documentation.
Overall, this is a very well-presented Mercedes-Benz 280 SL that stands out through its classic colour combination, long-term ownership and, in particular, its extensive documentation. Its condition today demonstrates both the quality of the restoration carried out almost three decades ago and the level of care the car has received ever since.
