Description
The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, affectionately nicknamed the 'Pagoda', takes its name from its unique hardtop reminiscent of Asian temple roofs. Designed by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, it is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The slightly concave shape of the hardtop provides added rigidity and safety — a genuine revolution for the era.
The 230 SL Pagoda also shone on the big screen, appearing in films and television series, notably in the iconic James Bond film You Only Live Twice (1967). Its timeless design has made it a favourite with directors seeking to add a touch of elegance.
Our 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL W113 has recently undergone a full nuts-and-bolts restoration, meticulously documented with detailed photographs and invoices. This European-origin model guarantees many years of driving pleasure. Presented in an elegant Silver Grey Metallic shade with a dark brown leather interior, it offers one of the most refined and sought-after combinations. Every journey — whether to the Côte d’Azur or for a Sunday drive to the local glacier — is undertaken with natural ease and elegance, far from the usual constraints of a classic car.
This Mercedes radiates and is ready to turn heads at every street corner. The time has come for this beauty to repay all the love it has received. Are you ready?
