Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagode

The Mercedes 230SL, affectionately known as the “Pagode”, owes its nickname to the unique hardtop reminiscent of Asian temple roofs. Designed by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, it is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The slightly concave shape of the hardtop provides extra rigidity and safety, truly revolutionary at the time.

The 230SL Pagode has also graced the silver screen, appearing in films and TV series, including the iconic James Bond movie “You Only Live Twice” (1967). Its timeless design made it a favourite choice for filmmakers looking to add a touch of class.

Our 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL W113 has recently undergone a full Nut & Bolt restoration, meticulously documented with detailed photographs and invoices. This European-delivered model guarantees years of driving pleasure. Finished in Silver Grey Metallic with a dark brown leather interior, it is one of the most stylish and desirable combinations available. Every trip, whether to the Côte d’Azur or a Sunday cruise to the ice cream store around the corner feels effortlessly,  not like a typical classic car.

This Mercedes shines and is ready to turn heads at every corner. Now it’s time for this beauty to give back the love. Are you ready?
