PADOGA

Mhlengi Classic Mafu 

Judge over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind. A work of art recognised and established value that is what it means to be a Classic and that is the Padoga. 

First introduced in 1963, the W113 Mercedes-Benz roadster, famously known as the “Pagoda” for its distinctive concave hardtop, has become a legend in the automotive world.

Designed by Paul Braca, this elegant two-seater captured hearts with its style, versatility, and performance. The 280 SL, the final version of the W113 series, boasts a 2.8-liter inline-six engine and refined upgrades that secured its iconic status.

This particular 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280 SL was originally delivered to the United States and brought to France by its current owner in 2018. Significant investments have been made to ensure its reliability and exceptional condition.

This car is a true collectors item so much so that the international DJ Blackcoffee from South Africa owns one amongst the few in the world that. This is a piece of art in a form of automotive design, elegance and craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. 

The bodywork has undergone careful restoration and presents beautifully, while the cabin has been well-preserved. Under the hood, the 170 hp inline-six engine runs flawlessly, paired with a 4-speed automatic gearbox for smooth and enjoyable driving.
