The seller offers for sale a 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL, a distinguished member of the “Pagoda” series, known for its elegance and innovation. This cabriolet is powered by a 2.3L inline-six engine paired with a manual transmission. The odometer reads a verified 98,500 km, supported by maintenance history. The car has undergone a restoration in the past, ensuring it retains its original charm while benefiting from modern updates.

The car is imported from sunny California. The exterior has been repainted in its original Mercedes 534G red, with underbody protection reapplied in the same color. The chrome elements, including trim and bumpers, are replaced. The interior features a refurbishment with cognac leather upholstery and original-quality carpets, maintaining authenticity while enhancing comfort. The vehicle comes with its factory hardtop, adding to its practicality.

The W113 “Pagoda” series, introduced in the 1960s, became an icon of automotive design. Its safety-focused body structure, designed by Béla Barényi and styled by Paul Bracq, set new standards in luxury sports cars. The 230SL, as the first model in the series, is particularly prized for its blend of performance, style, and historical significance.

Minor paint chips and scratches, primarily on the replaced front-right fender, are noted, a result of a previous repair in the U.S.
