A real classic: Mercedes 280 SL

February 11, 2015

Mercedes' legendary 280 SL acquired its nickname 'Pagoda' due to its concave hardtop. The 280 SL was no domesticated race car, but more a sporty, two-seat luxury model for regular roads. Its 170 hp cracked the magic 200 km/h mark. Now, a Pagoda in good condition will fetch a good €60,000.
