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

This 1968 example is presented in very good overall condition, equipped with both the removable hardtop and the soft roof, both in very good condition according to reports. The SL has been recently serviced and benefits from a documented maintenance history, making it an appealing proposition for collectors and enthusiasts of this increasingly sought-after classic.

Beyond its great beauty, this Pagoda is offered in very good condition. Resplendent 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 that the paint is “Magnificent.” The car features very elegant chrome throughout the vehicle, the folding soft top seems to function properly, and the fabric of the roof is in very good condition. The hardtop, often overlooked, is present and in very good condition.

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