Seems to be cheap for a 280sl?
« on: September 29, 2022, 23:04:45 »
Spotted this on eBay. I’m not affiliated in any way to the seller

Seems a little cheap but difficult to evaluate condition from the photos

Not sure that it is "cheap". Not all Pagodas command six digit numbers. It seems to be a "driver" quality car with work needed. I would compare it to mine, which I estimate to be US $ 45,000.- in the condition it is currently in.

Maybe it’s a Uk thing? Drivers are usually more? 😁
