Description
We are delighted to offer this superb 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, affectionately known as the ‘Pagoda,’ featuring the rare and highly desirable manual transmission. This iconic classic is presented in excellent condition, having undergone a comprehensive restoration that began in 2014 and was completed in 2018. The car now stands at the perfect level of preservation—immaculate yet ready to be enjoyed without fear of the occasional sign of use.
This 230 SL benefits from a large service completed just three months ago, which included the installation of a new clutch. The car also now features two brand-new Michelin tyres, while all four tyres boast excellent tread, making this Pagoda as road-ready as it is stunning. Renowned marque specialist Colin Ferns has thoroughly inspected and rated the car a remarkable 9/ 10, with his assessment documented in writing and included in the car’s extensive history file. Over £12, 000 was invested in an overhaul by Colin Ferns, ensuring the vehicle’s mechanical soundness and reliability.
A full photographic record of the restoration is available, providing a detailed visual account of the work carried out. Additionally, the car comes with a vast amount of paperwork and invoices, further attesting to its well-documented history and careful maintenance over the years.
This 230 SL ‘Pagoda’ offers a rare opportunity to own a classic Mercedes-Benz that combines timeless elegance with usability. Whether for weekend drives or adding to a discerning collection, this Pagoda is ready for its next custodian to enjoy. Contact us for further details and to secure this exceptional example.
