1970 Mercedes-Benz W113 280 SL review from North America
"A keeper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributor rebuilt.
Injection pump rebuilt.
Trunk tends to get wet under mat in rain or after washing.
General comments?
A gorgeous, beautifully assembled machine that is the last of the hand-built vehicles. Triple-plated chromed brass, leather everywhere, even a gas cap that is a work of art... A nice example of a Pagoda is a stunning piece of workmanship. Buy it and own it forever without a moment of regret.
