1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda

The vehicle in question is a 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda, currently situated in Vence on the Côte d'Azur. This sleek roadster stands out with its distinctive, curved 'pagoda' hardtop, which inspired its iconic moniker. It's a left-hand drive (LHD) classic that has clocked just under 10,000 kilometers, indicating rare use and potentially excellent condition. The engine runs on petrol, with power transmitted through a manual transmission - true to the era's driving dynamics. Though not yet sold, it awaits its next chapter in an upcoming auction from Collecting Cars Europe.
