Our Take:

The 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL, part of the W113 series—fondly known as the "Pagoda" for its slightly concave hardtop—holds a cherished spot in classic car circles. Its elegant design, with Paul Bracq at the helm, bridged the gap between the stately 190 SL and the more performance-oriented 300 SL, creating a perfect blend of luxury and sportiness that's endeared it to enthusiasts for decades.
With its midnight blue finish, this particular 280 SL stands out as a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that goes into a high-level restoration. The open checkbook restoration approach shouldn't surprise those familiar with Mercedes' dedication to craftsmanship; it's like rewriting history with every turn of the wrench.
The inclusion of modern amenities, such as Bluetooth adaptation for the original Becker sound system, showcases a thoughtful blend of classic charm and present-day convenience. It's a nod to the past with a foot firmly in the future—a true testament to the car's timeless appeal and flexibility.
Only driven 1,000 miles post-restoration, it's akin to having a time capsule on wheels. Considering its rarity, especially in such pristine condition, this roadster is a dream for any collector who appreciates the combination of German engineering precision and the romantic spirit of 1960s motoring.
