As its Datenkarte attests, this 280 SL left the factory on 30 July 1968. This valuable document confirms that the body was finished in "Off-white", with a dark blue leather interior, a combination which was kept when the car was fully restored. A series of photos shows how much attention to detail was paid during the restoration. The body, which was sound to begin with, was completely stripped down and sandblasted before being repainted. The original engine was fully reconditioned, as was the running gear. The upholstery meanwhile was entrusted to the excellent firm Ferraresi, in Ferrara. Just as it should, the hood matches the upholstery. The electrical system was also completely renewed at this time. Since its completion in 2018, this high-quality restoration has lost none of its lustre, as the car has been driven very little. As a result, the four Michelin MXV tyres are in nearly-new condition. With its hardtop and a period Becker Europa radio, this "Pagoda" is in exceptional condition after a remarkable restoration for a model of this kind
