Description
We present a piece that transcends conventional restoration to enter the realm of the truly exclusive: a 1969 Pagoda, meticulously restored and elevated to a configuration that purists and the most demanding collectors know how to appreciate… and discover: a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Originally, most W113s — especially in their latest series — were configured with automatic transmissions or 4-speed manuals. This example breaks with the norm. The conversion to a 5-speed manual is not only a technical improvement but a statement of intent: it returns to the driver absolute control and transforms the driving experience into something far more precise, sporty and emotional. It is, simply, what many believe Mercedes should have offered from factory… but very few have managed to execute at this level.
Its metallic-silver finish highlights every timeless line designed under the philosophy of sober German elegance, while the interior in deep red creates a spectacular contrast, evoking classic luxury with a decidedly passionate character. A combination that does not go unnoticed and that further elevates its presence in any collection or event.
Each detail has been restored with care, respecting the essence of the model while allowing this unit to stand out from the rest.
