From 1967 to 1971, Mercedes produced around 23,885 of the W113, 280SLPagoda,” a model nicknamed for its slightly concave removable top. It boasted the last update to the SOHC M180 inline-six by Mercedes-Benz and buyers could choose an optional limited-slip differential. Heavier than its predecessors, the 230SL and 250SL, the 280SL is popular amongst car enthusiasts and has become known as one of the most reliable and sturdy Mercedes-Benz models ever produced.
