1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 280

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers at The Classic Sale at CarFest 2026 on Saturday the 29th of August - Sunday the 30th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. The price indicated is the lower auction estimate.

1968 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL 'Pagoda' finished in creamy Papyrus White with a red leather interior complemented by a black soft-top

A genuine original right-hand drive example, further enhanced by the highly desirable four-speed manual gearbox

Supplied new to South Africa before being imported and correctly UK-registered in 1999

Formed part of a small private family collection in recent years, seeing only limited use during that period

Presents to a pleasing overall standard and was running at the time of our inspection

With little recent use, the car offers excellent potential for sympathetic recommissioning prior to regular road use

A wonderfully usable example of Paul Bracq's timeless 'Pagoda', equally suited to touring, club events or adding to a quality collection
