Description

The Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda, internally known as the W113, is one of the most iconic and timeless classic cars ever created. Produced between 1963 and 1971, it replaced the 190SL and 300SL, combining elegance, performance, and groundbreaking engineering.

Under the hood, the Pagoda featured a series of smooth and reliable inline-6 engines across three key models: the 230SL, 250SL, and 280SL. Drivers could choose between a 4-speed manual transmission or an optional automatic, making the car equally suited for spirited drives or relaxed grand touring. Built on a shortened W111 chassis, the Pagoda offered exceptional handling, a smooth ride, and a luxurious driving experience.

Its clean, minimalist design and balanced proportions made it a favourite among celebrities and enthusiasts. The car’s cultural impact was significant, cementing its status as a symbol of sophistication and success, while appearances in films and its association with mid-century luxury only added to its allure.

This restored example we have on offer is a 230SL that has been fitted with the desirable 280SL motor, presenting very well with 86981km indicated on the clock. Finished in black over beige leather interior, it makes for a stunning specification, adding to its allure. Today, the Mercedes-Benz SL Pagoda is one of the most sought-after classic cars in the world. Its timeless design, engineering excellence, and usability ensure its enduring appeal among collectors and enthusiasts. Whether admired as a showpiece or driven on open roads, the Pagoda remains a shining example of Mercedes-Benz’s commitment to quality, style, and innovation.
