1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL W113 "Pagoda" – Original Australian Delivery | Unrestored Survivor | California Top

This isn’t a restored car trying to relive its past—this is the real thing.

An incredibly rare opportunity to secure a genuine, unrestored 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL W113, presented in highly original condition and boasting original Australian delivery—a combination that is becoming almost impossible to find.

For the true enthusiast or collector, originality is everything. This Pagoda remains largely untouched, retaining its factory character, finishes, and charm throughout. The only deviation from original specification is a discreetly fitted stereo, allowing for modern convenience without compromising the car’s integrity.

Under the bonnet sits the iconic 2.8L fuel-injected inline-six, paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic transmission. It drives exactly as a well-preserved Pagoda should—refined, composed, and unmistakably classic.

Adding to its appeal is the desirable California Top configuration, offering the clean lines of the removable hardtop with occasional rear seating, making it both unique and practical.

Opportunities like this are few and far between.
