Highlights: • Stunning Mercedes-Benz 280 SL Pagoda with a 4-speed manual transmission in dark blue with beige faux leather upholstery • Rare and highly sought-after first registration in Augsburg, Germany. Second-hand ownership from 1972 to 2025 • Uninterrupted ownership history with the original vehicle registration certificate from 1969 and complete owner’s manual set, including the original Mercedes-Benz data card • Original Mercedes-Benz service booklet with a continuous mileage record of 186,400 kilometers A rare opportunity to acquire an authentically preserved Mercedes-Benz 280 SL with a verifiable history and unique factory specifications. This vehicle was first registered in Germany on September 16, 1969, through the Mercedes-Benz branch in Augsburg, in the factory color DB 904 Dark Blue, with a manual transmission and hardtop—a comparatively rare configuration. From 1972 to 2025, the car was owned by subsequent owners and boasts an exceptionally well-documented history. The mileage of 186,400 km is fully documented in the original Mercedes-Benz service booklet. The documentation is supplemented by the original German vehicle registration certificate, the complete owner’s manual, and an engine replacement performed by Mercedes-Benz in 1982, documented by an original engine replacement certificate dated September 22, 1982. The 280 SL is in very well-maintained condition with authentic patina. A particularly authentic example of the popular “Pagoda,” which, with its German first registration, verifiable history, and true-to-original overall appearance, represents a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.
