Introduced in 1968, the Mercedes-Benz 280 SL represented the final and most refined evolution of the legendary W113 “Pagoda”. Revered for its timeless design, exceptional engineering and effortless grand touring character, it remains one of the most celebrated classic Mercedes-Benz models ever built and continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts around the world.

This exceptional example has been meticulously restored and reimagined by LARO Sportwagen, the renowned German specialists whose bespoke creations are recognised for blending period authenticity with discreet modern engineering. Every element of the restoration has been executed with remarkable attention to detail, preserving the elegance and character of the original Pagoda while subtly enhancing its performance, comfort and everyday usability.

At the heart of the transformation is an enlarged 3.3-litre inline-six, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission to deliver stronger performance and a more engaging driving experience without compromising the smooth refinement for which the Pagoda is renowned. Modern sound and thermal insulation significantly improve cabin comfort, while discreetly integrated air conditioning allows the car to be enjoyed effortlessly in today’s driving conditions.

Finished in a bespoke colour combination and presented to an exceptional standard throughout, this LARO 280 SL is a masterclass in sympathetic restoration. Every enhancement has been carefully considered, respecting Paul Bracq’s timeless design while creating a motor car that feels equally at home on winding country roads, long-distance touring adventures or within the finest private collections.

Beautifully engineered, exquisitely restored and exceptionally rare, this remarkable Mercedes-Benz 280 SL LARO represents the perfect balance between classic elegance and modern usability—an interpretation of the iconic Pagoda that remains faithful to its heritage while elevating the driving experience in every respect.
