1964 Mercedes Benz 230SL Manual Transmission LHD

Here we have my beautiful Pagoda Mercedes Benz 230SL in gleaming red with contrasting white hard top. black soft top and black interior. overall a stunning combination!

The car was imported from Canada last year and had undergone a part restoration under the previous owner. Since arriving in the UK I've continued the restoration with the following work completed by heritage motor mechanic & highly regarded classic car bodyshop to bring the vehicle to its present condition:-

Full body respray- beautiful red paintwork. no dings or dents. near showroom appearance!New brake shoes. calipers and padsNew batteryNew spark plugsNew fuel. air and oil filtersAll fluids replacedNew distributer cap and leadsNew hosesInjector pump overhaulCold start thermostat overhaul 

Interior reupholstered and new carpets (by previous keeper)

71. 00 miles. although unverified believed to be original as per previous owners advice and vehicle condition supports it.

Rare and valuable numbers matching original engine and box to chassis. This is verified through the original Daimler Benz data card that I have a copy of. showing the engine and chassis numbers at manufacture. and these match those stamped on the engine & chassis. Having matching numbers supports the cars originality. Many pagodas you'll see have had replacement engines during their lifetime and this is detrimental to their value and desireablilty. matching numbers cars are the ones in demand and the ones commanding highest values!

Original Becker stereo- working

Original tool roll. spare wheel and jack

UK registered and MOT'd until May 2014

Tax exempt

Correct near-new period Michelin XTG 4 tyres

More photos are available if you email me.

This car has had lots of money spent on it in all the correct places. and with further minor detailing could easily and inexpensively be brought up to show-car standard. As concours cars are now commanding £60k+. this vehicle offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a properly sorted example at a great-value price.  An appreciating asset that will bring loads of pleasure to its new keeper.  Genuine reason for sale and very sad to see it go. but go it must!
