EXTERIOR
The simple, elegant lines of the SL Pagoda look wonderful in timeless metallic silver. The gleaming bodywork presents to a very high standard all round, with even panel gaps and a deep uniform shine to be found. The car is entirely free from any rust issues and boasts one of the cleanest W113 undersides we have ever seen, fully protected by a clear coat of Waxoyl (photos available upon request). All brightwork and trims are in equally fine fettle, retaining a lovely mirror finish on close inspection. The lights are without any cracks or signs of moisture ingress, and the blue soft-top is free from any wear. The hard top is finished in contrasting dark blue and presents in excellent condition inside and out.
INTERIOR
With the classic design of the dashboard, chrome fittings, switchgear and over-sized steering wheel, the Pagoda’s glamourous interior does not disappoint. The dark leather seats are both in excellent condition with almost no wear to be found, and the grey woven carpets are spotless throughout. Other nice features include an original Becker radio and fully functioning air conditioner unit. In the boot area you’ll find the covered spare wheel and original rubber load mat.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The engine bay is extremely well presented throughout, retaining a fresh appearance with no signs of any damage or poor repair. The 2. 8-litre straight six is remarkably smooth on test and the 4-speed automatic gearbox operates without fault. We have just had the car serviced, inspected, and MOT’d for the new keeper’s peace of mind.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The SL sits on original 14-inch steels fitted with pristine body-coloured wheel trims. The matching Goodyear tyres show plenty of tread remaining and the brakes do a fine job of stopping the car quickly and in a straight line.
HISTORY FILE
The SL was built in December 1968 and subsequently registered in early 1969. The History File is complete with an original Mercedes book pack including service booklet, owner’s manual, service policy booklet, Mercedes dealer directory, and Becker instruction booklet. More recent documentation includes a Date of Manufacture letter from Mercedes, import and registration documents, MOT certificates, and invoices for recent maintenance.
