1969 MERCEDES BENZ 280 SL ROADSTER --Dark Red with Palomino leather interior and Tan carpeting, 3,000 Original miles, speed manual transmission, actory hard top. VIN: 11304410009534The Mercedes W113 type, ick-named “Pagoda” due to a distinctive and patented concave hardtop roofline has been labeled by many as one of the most beautiful cars ever built.All 280 SL models were equipped with an inline six cylinder engine with multi-port mechanical fuel injection. The bonnet, runk lid, oor skins and tonneau cover were made of aluminum to reduce weight. The comparatively short and wide chassis, ombined with an excellent suspension, owerful brakes and radial tires gave the W113 superb handling for its time. The styling of the front with its characteristic upright "fishbowl" headlights and simple chrome grille, ominated by the large three-pointed star in the nose panel, aid homage to the then already legendary 300 SL roadster.Factory options include: 4-speed manual transmission, umper guards, eadrests and Factory hard top.This 280 SL Pagoda is a collector owned example. It is excellent “driver” quality and has been well cared for from new. It has benefited from personal upgrades including a Nardi wood steering wheel and upgraded stereo. This original color example Pagoda has averaged slightly more than 1,000 miles per year since new and makes for a great, eliable driver for immediate use and enjoyment.
