The Mercedes 280 SL Pagoda. A place of worship for convertible fans. In the early 1960s, Walter Hitzinger, the boss of Mercedes, was looking for a middle ground between the 300 SL Gullwing (slow flying) and the 190 SL, which was actually reserved for women with large sun hats. In 1963, they presented the W113, which was soon popularly called the "Pagoda", thanks to the shape of the hardtop that came with it for the winter months. Now, almost 60 years later, an absolute cult. We completely agree! The chassis was a shortened chassis from the W111 S-class generation, an M180 straight-six that was actually a further developed aircraft engine. Extended nose, large bakelite steering wheel, rear-wheel drive... Need we say more? Ours? A neat grey blue metallic on beige leather example that has been making happy kilometers in the Netherlands for 25 years. Equipped with air conditioning, Becker radio, a tracking system, cruise control and a stainless steel exhaust system from front to back. Always maintained in the Netherlands by a well-known Mercedes-Benz specialist who has blessed this example for her new adventure.
