CAR DESCRIPTION
We are pleased to offer this 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL “Pagoda” with a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Signal Red over black MB Tex upholstery with a matching red hardtop and black canvas soft top.
Options included power steering, Becker Europa AM/FM stereo, tinted glass, chrome roof bars and A/C. This is a great driver-quality example with lots of recent service – a major mechanical refresh consisting of a front end / steering rebuild, brakes, hoses, rear axle reseal / mounts, and more. In 2008 it got a top-end engine rebuild.
This 280SL starts easily, runs great, makes good power, shifts properly and feels very “put together” going down the road. Cosmetically it shows to a good but not restored / show-quality standard — an older repaint in correct Signal Red has a nice shine but a few nicks and dings from use. The underside looks good with no signs of previous rust repair or current issues.
The interior shows to a nice standard with excellent upholstery, dash, door cards and wood. The odometer is inop; it broke under current ownership and mileage is estimated at around 120,000.
