Often at the top of lists aiming to determine the most beautiful car of all time, the W113 designed by Paul-Bracq is a perfect example of discreet and elegant design. It is also beautifully engineered, offering a range of inline six engines with injection and the iconic concave roof that earned it the nickname “Pagoda”.

This 1968 exemplar presents in very good overall condition, equipped with both the removable hardtop and the soft top, both in very good condition according to the reports. The SL has been recently serviced and benefits from a service history, making it an attractive proposition for collectors and enthusiasts of this increasingly sought-after classic.

Beyond its great beauty, this Pagoda is offered in very good condition. Glowing in bright red with a black interior, it presents an excellent overall appearance, with little signs of wear given its age. The seller notes that the bodywork is in excellent condition and the paint is “Magnificent”. The car features very elegant chrome throughout, the folding soft top appears to function correctly, and the roof fabric is in very good condition. The hardtop, often overlooked, is present and in very good condition.

The seller asserts that the engine is in very good health and runs beautifully. With proper maintenance, these engines can last for decades without major intervention. The SL will run very well, offering reliability and usable performance.
