Mercedes-Benz 280SL could make £55,000 when it goes under the hammer

A 1970 Mercedez-Benz 280 SL Pagoda is set to go under the hammer next month. The car, which has spent its life on the Cote D’Azur, is part of Classic Car Auctions’ June sale, which takes place at the Warkshire Exhibition Centre on 10 June.

The 2.8-litre engine is in good running condition with 95,900km on the clock (59,600 miles). The car has recently been imported to the UK and the bodywork, paint and trim are said to be in ‘almost pristine’ condition.

Supplied with manuals, service book and the original bill of sale, the Pagoda is left-hand drive with a manual gearbox and has a sale estimate of £50,000-£55,000.
