However, this Pagoda is more than just a car; it’s a living piece of history that truly blossomed when it found its way to the Netherlands in 1993.
A New Era in the Netherlands

A Pagoda for the Future

With only three Dutch owners, one of whom cherished it for nearly 25 years, this Pagoda has undergone an impressive transformation with its most recent owner. With over €30, 000 invested in upgrades over the last three years, this car is nearly ready for daily use.
An Unparalleled Driving Experience
Step inside and experience the luxury of this Pagoda, powered by a robust 280SL engine paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox. Every upgrade has been meticulously carried out, including new brake discs, engine mounts, fuel tank, lines, and more. Documented down to the finest details, this Pagoda guarantees a driving experience like no other. The original hardtop is also included.
Pure Performance and Elegance
With 170 HP and an impressive 240 NM of torque, the beloved 280 engine delivers performance that takes you back to the glory days of sports cars. With a top speed of 200 km/ h, as stated in the original brochure, this Pagoda was an elegant yet powerful counterpart to the Jaguar E-type, Ferrari Daytona, and the Corvette C3.
The Legendary W113 Series
The W113 series, produced between 1963 and 1971, included the 230 (1963-1967), the 250 (1967), and the 280 (1968-1971). Only 48, 912 W113 models were ever made. The Pagoda owes its nickname to the distinctive shape of the hardtop, reminiscent of a graceful Chinese pagoda roof.
