Why I bought a 1970 Mercedes 280SL Pagoda as my first classic car!

In this video I'm featuring the first classic car I bought, a 1970 Mercedes 280SL. It's the beginning of my passion and journey with classic cars. The car is fitted with the automatic transmission and comes supplied with both its soft top and the iconic ‘Pagoda’ hard top. Furthermore, it is equipped with air conditioning, power windows, a modern Sony stereo, and colour-coded seat belts.
Just as fashionable today as it was fifty years ago, the W113-generation 280 SLs have proven to be an enduring Mercedes-Benz icon, second to only the first-generation ancestors, the 300 SL Gullwings and Roadsters. Paul Barcq’s styling created a car that was sophisticated and timeless, perfectly matched to the top-of-the-range 280 SL engine. More than capable of handling duties as a warm-weather daily driver, the 280 SL will surely remain popular for the next fifty years or more.

Hi Tania,
We share the same passion for the Pagoda 280SL. I'm very happy to ear you talking about this model that you perfectly know (production figures and history). Take a look at mine : 1970 Silver Grey with Power Steering, 3rd seat, new MBTEX interior, Alu-wheels (2.5 years of full restoration every week ends and holidays) :
