This 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL is a used car showing 86,693 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Blue with a Blue interior.
This 280 SL was built with the four-speed manual gearbox, a choice the dealer says purists look for in a Pagoda. It has not been over-restored: a single professional repaint in the Netherlands some 25 years ago left the factory spot welds and weld seams in view, the mark of a body that has never needed major surgery.
A Dutch SL specialist has recently inspected and serviced it, with invoices, and its records stretch back more than 25 years. Paint, chrome and bodywork are described as very neat, and the blue MB-Tex cabin, lifted by an ivory steering wheel and gear knob, as a showpiece.
The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
