– Beautiful overall condition
– Superb interior in correct MB-Tex
– Attractive colour combination

Finished in Signal Red with Black hardtop and wheel embellishers. this beautiful “Pagoda” SL would please collectors and connoiseurs of the Mercedes-Benz marque alike. A significant model in Mercedes' long history. this first-generation 230SL features the M127 fuel-injected 6 cylinder engine. and is one of 19. 81 230SLs produced between 1963 and 1967.

A highly specified example. it features automatic transmission. power steering. hardtop and “kinderseat”. a third. sideways-facing seat intended for children which enables a total capacity of three occupants. Its factory-correct. Mushroom MB-Tex is in outstanding condition. as is the ivory-coloured steering wheel and correct painted dashboard.

The dashboard wood is in excellent order. as are the door cards. and all brightwork. which is very impressive throughout. With super-clean bodywork and an excellent engine bay. this Pagoda represents arguably the most glamorous open-top roadster Mercedes has ever produced. and certainly one of the most well-known and iconic shapes ever seen in European motor car production.

A European specification car which has spent 1995-2015 in Norway. during which comprehensive ownership history is provided. it passed its UK MoT on 15 October 2015. has had all duties paid and is ready for its first UK keeper to complete the registration process.

Recent history includes rocker cover gasket replacement. timing chain renewal and valve clearance adjustment. front engine mount replacement and idle and timing fine-tune. Said to drive extremely well and demonstrate excellent oil pressure. acceleration and roadholding. there were no advisories on its MoT which is a strong endorsement of the motor car's current condition.

A very attractive proposition and a piece of Mercedes-Benz history. this left hand drive 230SL is an ideal collector's example of Mercedes' renowned Pagoda shape and is in correct and lovely condition throughout.
