Vehicle Description
In March 1963 the new generation of SL sports cars was launched
with the debut of the 230 SL at the Geneva Show. This revolutionary
new model replaced the then ageing 190 and 300SL models. Mercedes
engineering, together with elegance and practicality, made the
pagoda top SL one of the most distinctive designs of its era. As
today, Mercedes-Benz motorcars were never cheap, but superb build
quality and sophisticated styling made the 230SL an extremely
popular sports car among motoring enthusiasts.
We are pleased to bring to market this very strong running and
nicely documented Pagoda for your consideration. Only 31k miles
show on the odometer and previous customer assured us that they are
original to the car and we have a thick file of receipts that helps
to document them. Cars like this don't come around very often as
most are really beat up and have a long list of items to correct or
the concourse style ones that will cost a small fortune and then be
too scared to enjoy it. This great driver is so much fun to drive
with the rare 4spd manual transmission. The proven fuel injection
system brings this car to life quickly and hustles thru all gears
with ease and precision. Vehicle looks great and shows some small
signs of wear on the paint, but you would be still proud to show it
off at any regional car show. Interior is in great shape and the
wood remains in great shape along with seats, carpeting, dash, door
panels and mechanicals. All the lights are working properly other
than the passenger front turn signal. Wipers function along with
all gauges and horn. Newer Pioneer stereo was installed and plays
your favorite music. Newer navy blue soft top is in great shape and
really compliments the car all around. Vehicle does retain the
"knotches" and "spot welds" that is so important to these cars.
Recent service work includes; battery, fuel pump, rear shocks,
battery cables, spark plugs, rear differential pinion seal, and
tires. The car was stored for the past 15+ years in a heated garage
and used very rarely in Big Sky Montana. Vehicle comes with
original owner's manual, original build sheet, workshop manual, a
file of receipts, spare tire and jack, 2 sets of keys and some
extra parts.

mechanicals, a great core structure and wonderful cosmetics at an
