Stunning body

Having US roots, the car was restored to European standards.
The 280 SL is the last, and arguably best, variant of the venerable W113-generation SL-Class. A worthy successor to the W121 190 SL, the W113 returned to an inline six-cylinder and featured a stunning body designed by Paul Bracq. Much as with previous SLs, one could have both hard and soft tops fitted to their cars to enable year-round motoring in comfort, style, and, increasingly, safety. 

Hartop

The hardtops, with a slightly concave appearance, gave the W113 the nickname, “Pagoda”, and, combined with the car’s easy-to-drive character the model became an instant classic beloved by celebrities and enthusiasts alike.
The car is ready for immediate use
