This beautifully restored Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, better known as the iconic "Pagoda," embodies the elegant lines and refined engineering for which Mercedes-Benz is so valued. This particular example has been thoroughly restored in the past and is still in superb condition, a wonderful opportunity for the true enthusiast of classic Mercedes models. A copy of the original data card is present with the car, further underscoring the authenticity of this example.
Timeless elegance and unique details
The Mercedes-Benz Pagoda owes its nickname to the unique design of the hardtop roof, whose slightly concave shape is reminiscent of the roofs of traditional Chinese pagodas. This design language, combined with the distinctive upright headlights and streamlined bodywork, makes the 230 SL a classic that has no equal. The interior finish, including the stylish headrests, shows craftsmanship at the highest level.
Driving pleasure with a powerful six-cylinder
Under the hood lies a powerful and smooth six-cylinder engine, which provides the typical, smooth driving experience that makes a Mercedes of this era unique. Driving a Pagoda is an experience in itself: the car feels solid and comfortable, with refined handling that directly reflects the high quality and technical advances made by Mercedes-Benz in the 1960s.
A sought-after classic
The Pagoda models remain immensely popular thanks to their combination of elegance, driving comfort and technical reliability. This 230 SL offers a unique opportunity for collectors and classic Mercedes enthusiasts to own an iconic and sublimely executed classic.
