--White with Red leather interior, Red German square-weave
carpeting, Black convertible top, and matching White removable
hardtop. Matching-numbers 2.3-liter fuel-injected overhead-cam
inline six-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual
transmission. Factory Becker radio. Presented in superb condition
throughout.Production of the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL began in June
1963 and continued through January 5, 1967. Introduced at the 1963
Geneva Motor Show, the W113 quickly established itself as one of
Mercedes-Benz's most elegant and technically advanced sports cars.
Affectionately known as the "Pagoda" due to its distinctive,
patented concave removable hardtop, the W113 combined timeless
styling with exceptional engineering. Every 230 SL was equipped
with a fuel-injected inline six-cylinder engine, while the hood,
trunk lid, and door skins were constructed from aluminum to reduce
weight and enhance performance.Most recently, this exceptional
Pagoda has been enjoyed as a fair-weather touring car, spending
much of its recent life on the North Shore of Long Island where it
was used for leisurely weekend drives along scenic coastal roads.
It has been serviced by Autosport Designs regardless of mileage to
ensure it has remained in outstanding mechanical condition.Although
benefiting from an older restoration, this 230 SL continues to
present beautifully today. The paint, chrome, brightwork, and
interior all remain exceptionally well preserved, while the driving
experience is exactly as one would expect from a properly sorted
Pagoda. Mechanically, the car is excellent, with all systems
functioning as intended by Mercedes-Benz when new, making it
equally suitable for touring, local concours events, or inclusion
in a discerning collection.This 230SL is accompanied by the factory
jack, lug wrench, tool kit, owner's manual, Mercedes-Benz Data
Card, and a color-matched removable hardtop. A wonderfully
presented example of one of Mercedes-Benz's most iconic postwar
sports cars, this 230 SL is ready for immediate
enjoyment.
