1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda
- Engine
- 2.8L inline-six
- Colour
- Horizon Blue
A 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 'Pagoda' finished in the uncommon Horizon Blue over Blue MB-Tex interior, a combination retained in its original state. The final and most refined iteration of the W113 series, this example was formerly part of the notable Mercedes-Benz collection assembled by Phoenix-based enthusiast Phil Lutfy. It has never been restored and retains what appear to be its original paint and interior, supported by a documented service history largely carried out by Mercedes-Benz Phoenix Motor Company.
