1971 Mercedes Benz 280SL Pagoda - Single Ownership For Over 50 Years, MB Data Card, Complete History The Mercedes-Benz W113 “Pagoda” remains one of the most enduring and recognizable European sports cars ever produced. Designed under the direction of Paul Bracq, it combined graceful styling, exceptional build quality and refined open-air performance. Introduced for 1968, the 280SL represented the most developed version of the W113, with production concluding in 1971 before the arrival of the succeeding R107 SL. This exceptional 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is distinguished by more than 50 years of single-owner care—an extraordinary provenance that is increasingly difficult to find. Its long-term ownership is supported by an extensive collection of service and restoration receipts, providing valuable insight into the attention and investment it has received over the decades. Finished in elegant Silver Grey Metallic over a Black MB-Tex interior, the car presents in one of the most timeless colour combinations available for the Pagoda. Power is supplied by its matching-numbers 2.8-litre inline-six-cylinder engine, paired with the factory Code 423 automatic transmission for the relaxed and refined driving experience for which the 280SL is renowned. Complete with both its signature removable factory hardtop and folding soft top, this final-year 280SL offers exceptional versatility. Combining matching-numbers mechanicals, Mercedes-Benz Data Card, extensive documentation and remarkable long-term provenance, it represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a highly desirable example of Mercedes-Benz’s celebrated Pagoda roadster. -

Company History Legendary Motorcar Company Ltd® first opened its doors in 1985 with a dream of restoring and trading in the finest and rarest of classic and performance cars. Legendary Motorcar soon began producing national show winning restorations and record sales. After three short years our facility had grown to 4000 sq. ft. and restorations and sales began to include all makes and models of muscle cars, always staying true to our goal of producing the best. By 1990 we expanded to 12,000 sq ft, and began selling European marques, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Porsche and of course we continued to sell some of the rarest domestic models. In 2002 Legendary Motorcar Company Ltd. moved into its brand new 55,000 sq. ft. facility. The new Halton Hills location includes: 100 car showroom, fully equipped mechanical and assembly bays, downdraft spray booth and body shop, plus a conference center and is of course the location for the television series “Legendary Motorcar” on Discovery’s Velocity Channel. Each area of the restoration shop is staffed by skilled craftsmen with several 100 years of combined experience. All of this adds up to a complete, state-of-the-art facility for every aspect of your collector car needs from ground-up restorations, to service, appraisals, storage and an ever changing inventory of some of the world’s finest collector and investment cars for sale. After over 25 years in business we have grown to become the Nation’s #1 total collector and specialty car facility. Along with our own departments our facility is also home to the head office of the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.
