The Mercedes-Benz 280 SL uses the 2,778 cc M130 straight-six, with fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft, rated at 170 PS (125 kW) and 244 Nm, and 200 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox, a ZF five-speed, or a four-speed automatic, and rear-wheel drive. The hardtop dips in the middle instead of curving up, and that concave line, patented by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, is what gave the car the name pagoda. It lowers the roof at the sides so a passenger can get in without stooping. Mercedes-Benz sold the car with a soft top, with the hardtop, or with both, and a version without any roof at all, called California, carried a rear bench where the folded fabric would have gone.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 280 SL in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL priced above or below the European market?

At €215,000, it sits at the median of €215,000 for the 5 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. 40% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL be bought in Sweden and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Uppsala, Sweden. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €12,424 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €215,000, 1631% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL compare?

600 km recorded, against a median of 21,460 km across the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service history and previous owners are not published on LUSSO and should be confirmed with the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz 280 SL are priced closest to this one?

a 1970 car in the United Kingdom at €233,939, and a 1970 car in Sweden at €159,000. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL, and how does a purchase work?

Motikon AB, a professional dealer in Uppsala, Sweden. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 280 SL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Uppsala, Sweden, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history: LUSSO does not publish these and cannot confirm them.
