Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda "Signature Belrose"

In the large world of Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda’s you will meet all levels of restoration… But only a small number of Pagoda’s can match this one. For the Signature Belrose version of the 280 SL, every single detail was given the same attention. When even excellent isn’t enough, new quality requirements were made to restore the best classic Mercedes Benz on the market today. The only way this result comes together is with the most skilled team, which we are proud to have in house.
