We are pleased to present to the market, this effortlessly elegant , 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL. Finished in stunning silver paint, over a black leather interior, this iconic convertible, affectionately known as the ‘Pagoda’ has been well preserved and is a venerated piece of Mercedes’ history.
Being the successor to the famous 190SL, the 230SL had a monumental legacy to live up to. With a design dominated by straight lines, the SL’s concaved hard top roof stood out, giving birth to its iconic “Pagoda” moniker.
This 230SL has undergone a total rotisserie ground up restoration, while remaining period correct. It presents factory fresh:
- Now equipped with an upgraded period correct 280 engine when vehicle was restored
- Original Hardtop
- Original Wallet with Two Keys
- A Portfolio of receipts for all completed works.
- Incredible driving experience, far superior to a standard 230SL
Not only does its signature design hark back to the 60’s era with polished chrome elements, its sweeping bonnet, and delicate A pillars, but it was also continued to showcase Mercedes’ engineering prowess.
- The 230SL was the first Mercedes-Benz to be equipped with Front Disc Brakes
- Their first ‘sports car’ offering equipped with Power Steering
- This 230SL features a highly advanced Automatic Gearbox with selectable gears, an option chosen by only a quarter of original buyers.
- Mercedes Benz, in conjunction with Firestone and Continental, developed new tires with a stiffer sidewall to better facilitate rear end grip on the SL range.
- While being marketed as a luxurious tourer, the SL still retained some sporting prowess, winning the Spa-Sofia-Liège rally despite being developed with limited motor sport influence.
This classic 230SL must be seen to be appreciated and would suit the most fastidious buyer.
