1964 (B) Mercedes-Benz SL Series 230 SL

This matching numbers 1964 UK-delivered RHD Mercedes W113 230SL Pagoda, has been fastidiously restored to the highest standard in every respect. Never has the saying 'nut and bolt restored' been more apt.

This is a car you fall in love with. Just look at it!

Presented in possibly the best colour combination of any Pagoda. The Blue Grey paintwork contrasting with the Off-White interior, hubcaps and hardtop, perfectly compliments the car's restrained, handsome lines. A more elegant Pagoda would be a difficult find.

So good is the restoration, this 'like new' Pagoda could be considered in concours condition.

Literally everywhere you look, whether it be the glorious paintwork, the painted steel wheels with chrome hub caps and white-wall tyres, the fully retrimmed and refurbished cream leather interior with factory correct features, the wood veneers, the chromework, the classic dashboard with Bakelite Steering Wheel, the engine bay, or even underneath the car, you'll be hard-pressed to find a single flaw.

The photographs of the detail, fittings and underside of the car make clear that every aspect is as perfect as can be. This is a Pagoda that can only be described with extreme superlatives.

And it's not just the cosmetics where this car excels. The car has also had every aspect of the mechanicals attended to. The engine, gearbox and running gear have been fully rebuilt or replaced, with no stone left unturned.

On the move, the mix of the 2,308cc straight six 150bhp engine with the rare manual 4spd gearbox delivers a relaxing yet sporting experience perfect for touring and long-distance motoring. And with the addition of Power Brakes, this Pagoda's classic aesthetic is more than capable of meeting the demands of the modern day road.

Recently repatriated to the UK from The Netherlands, the car has covered a mere 350 miles since restoration, representing a rare opportunity to own a Pagoda that will satisfy even the most discerning of buyers. Only very rarely do Pagodas arrive on the market as fresh from restoration or as comprehensively restored as this one. With an unparalleled quality of workmanship and presentation, this is a car not to miss if you want the very best.

The car will be supplied with two sets of keys, the UK V5C showing only one owner, a copy of the data card, a 12-month market-leading extendable warranty, the remainder of its no-advisory MOT until June 2026, and prior to release, will be further subjected to our exhaustive Pre-Delivery Inspection.
