Description
In the early 1960s, Mercedes designer Paul Braq combined "the best of both worlds" in the W113.
His design was both visually "Italian," light and elegant, but also executed with the German solidity and engineering expertise expected of the brand.
The Mercedes W113 demonstrated its full potential in its top-of-the-line 2. 8-liter engine.
The six-cylinder engine with multi-point fuel injection offered not only excellent dynamics, but also exceptional smoothness and high reliability.
Dubbed the "Pagoda" after the distinctive shape of its roof, it was another important step in building
the reputation of the entire "SL" model line.
Our offer has just been expanded with this excellent example.
Meet it.

Vehicle History and Condition:
This Mercedes is from the American market, from where it was imported to Poland to become part of a private collection.
A few years ago, it was fully restored according to its original American specifications.
Used only occasionally, the Mercedes remains fresh and ready to continue driving.
The engine, gearbox, and suspension all operate flawlessly, providing a confident driving experience.
The gold-beige paintwork, combined with the brown upholstery and green carpeting, creates a unique and eye-pleasing combination, rarely seen in this model.
The interior itself has been restored with attention to the smallest detail.
Both the leather-trimmed, chrome-plated, and plastic elements are free from blemishes and wear.
Every feature of the car is fully functional, including the original Becker Europa radio included.
The convertible top works flawlessly, and its dark brown upholstery was replaced during the aforementioned restoration.
The Mercedes rides on a set of Michelin MXV tires, designed for classic cars. There are a few minor scratches on the car's paint, as well as on the chrome trim.
The Mercedes offered is registered in Poland, has current insurance, and has a valid MOT.
