Of all the now long line of Mercedes SL models, it is the W113 series cars that continue to capture the imagination. With or without the sensuously dished hardtop that graced them with their 'pagoda' nickname, the Paul Bracq designed Roadsters have an understated elegance that demands a second look. This combined with memorable build quality to create one of the great motorcars of the period, the last and most powerful version of which was the 170bhp 280SL launched in 1968.

This stunning-looking righthand drive example sports lustrous Blue paintwork complemented by a rich Cream interior trim and is understood to have been restored in the early 2000’s. Having been in current ownership since 2007 ‘KRX716H’ is fitted with a period style Becker Mexico 7948 radio which includes satnav, blue-tooth telephone, MP3 and I-pod connection. Said to be fitted with a higher ration rear axle for improved cruising experience and subject to a gearbox overhaul 10 years ago the SL is offered with both hard and soft tops, collection of old MOT certificates plus invoices from marque specialists Roger Edwards Motors. it is no surprise the vendor currently grades the engine, transmission, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork and paintwork all as ‘excellent’ and has a current MoT certificate into March 2022.
