01
PAGODA ROOF
The distinct concave roof that birthed the moniker is carefully restored by Hemmels engineers to keep the driver and their passenger connected to the outside environment – as intended by Bracq.
02
LUXURY IN DETAIL
A symphony of chrome. A dazzling instrument panel. A sensual surrounding made of leather. Each element of the interior is styled and hand-crafted just for you in the leather, colours and textures of your choosing.
03
A MODERN RETELLING
Your Pagoda, as you want it. Colour your model from a range of period colours or choose something entirely unique. Polish the engine, or contrast stitching that matches the exterior. However you embellish your 280 SL Pagoda, tell a classic story with a modern twist.
