MERCEDES-BENZ
280
SL
A
superior
display
of
power
coupled
with
sporty
elegance:
the
Mercedes-Benz
Pagoda
presented
at
the
Geneva
Motor
Show
in
March
1963
caused
a
sensation
not
only
among
experts.
The
230
SL
was
the
worlds
first
sports
car
with
an
innovative
safety
body,
from
1967
to
1971
the
further
developed
280
SL
came
off
the
production
line.
The
two-seater
Roadster
is
launched
with
unique
comfort,
exeptional
performance
and
unprecedented
driving
safety
for
a
sports
car.
Visually,
the
removeable
coupé
roof
designed
by
Paul
Braque
and
arched
inwards
is
reminiscent
of
the
curved
roofs
of
asian
temples
and
the
"Pagode"
was
born.
BRABUS
is
now
reviving
this
legend
with
the
unique
6-star
restoration.

The
BRABUS
Classic
6-Star
Restoration
Thousands
of
hours
of
labor,
the
expertise
from
more
than
40
years
of
experience
with
Mercedes-Benz
cars,
and
an
unconditional
love
of
detail:
That
is
what
distinguishes
a
BRABUS
Classic
6-Star
Restoration.
At
the
end
of
this
elaborate
process
are
historically
authentic
automotive
works
of
art
–
in
a
quality
as
if
the
classic
had
just
come
off
the
production
line.
A
solid
investment
with
an
incomparable
fun
factor.
From
the
first
to
the
last
screw
The
start
of
any
BRABUS
Classic
6-Star
Restoration
of
a
Mercedes-Benz
classic
always
is
the
complete
disassembly
of
the
base
vehicle
in
our
workshop.
All
parts
are
inspected
and
indexed
in
the
process.
Unserviceable
parts
are
discarded.
Others
that
are
suitable
for
reconditioning
are
returned
to
new
condition
by
our
specialists
with
utmost
care.
All
missing,
damaged
or
worn
out
components
are
replaced
with
newly
manufactured
genuine
Mercedes
parts
–
from
the
first
to
the
last
bolt.
An
unparalleled
approach
in
the
restoration
of
vintage
cars.
New
age
shine
The
automotive
gem
is
brought
back
to
life
with
maximum
precision
and
deep
devotion:
This
starts
with
the
chemical
removal
of
all
paint.
The
engine
and
transmission
are
thoroughly
overhauled,
the
interior
is
elaborately
restored,
the
body
is
given
a
cataphoretic
dip
primer
coat
as
can
be
found
on
modern
production
vehicles
and
then
undergoes
a
comprehensive
rust
protection
treatment
before
receiving
its
final
paint
finish.
Once
all
work
steps
are
completed,
the
Mercedes
classic
once
again
shines
in
its
new
old
luster.
GRADE
A+
CERTIFICATE
After
the
completed
BRABUS
Classic
6-Star
Restoration,
Classic
Data,
the
leading
experts’
organization
for
vintage
cars,
awards
the
vehicle
a
grade
of
A+.
In
addition,
because
of
the
unique
quality
of
the
work
and
its
true-to-the-original
character,
the
vehicle
is
given
a
supplementary
certificate
attesting
it
"new
car
character."
The
car
is
like
new
–
the
BRABUS
Classic
6-Star
Restoration
even
surpasses
the
original
delivery
condition
with
regard
to
the
quality
of
workmanship
and
rust
protection.
A
classic
you
can
only
find
in
this
quality
at
BRABUS
Classic.
Of
course,
a
BRABUS
Classic
6-Star
Restoration
is
in
line
with
the
"matching
numbers“
principle:
The
restored
vehicle
came
off
the
production
line
at
the
time
with
exactly
the
same
engine
and
transmission
that
it
is
equipped
with
now.
This
also
applies
to
all
other
parts
and
major
assemblies.
In
addition,
the
paint
color
and
the
color
of
the
interior
plus
many
more
details
correspond
to
the
original
version.
