Produced from 1963 to 1971, the Mercedes-Benz W113 is a two-seat
roadster introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show. These cars have
a distinctive, patented, slightly concave hardtop, which inspired
the "Pagoda" nickname. All models were equipped with an inline-six
cylinder engine with multi-port fuel injection. The bonnet, trunk
lid, door skins are made of aluminum to reduce weight. Production
of the 230 SL commenced in June 1963 and ended on 5 January
1967.
This 230SL Roadster was one-owner example owned by a former MTV
executive, housed and used at his Long Island, New York - Hampton's
residence. During the past twenty years and while in this
ownership, it was restored mechanically and cosmetically. Most of
the restoration was performed by Gregory Johnston, well known on
the East End of Long Island for his Mercedes SL restorations.
Approximately six years ago, this SL was sold from its one-family
ownership to its next and most recent custodian, a resident of Sand
Point, New York. While in this ownership, this Pagoda has been used
seasonally, never in inclement weather and mostly for simply
journeys to and from the golf course.
Serviced when and where needed to keep in excellent condition,
today, although an older restoration, this SL still presents
wonderfully. It looks, feels and drives exactly as a proper Pagoda
should, it's cosmetic and mechanical condition are both excellent
and all systems are working as originally intended by the factory
when new.
This 230 SL Pagoda is accompanied by its factory jack, lug wrench,
tools, owner's manual as well as its factory convertible top levers
and is ready for immediate use and enjoyment.
