Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagoda

About this car

This exceptional Mercedes Benz Pagoda 230SL is a truly rare automobile, produced during the very first week of production in 1963. A distinction that places it among the earliest examples ever built. Cars from this initial production period are extraordinarily scarce and represent the purest expression of Paul Bracq’s iconic Pagoda design. 

 

The vehicle has been fully restored with uncompromising attention to detail, faithfully returned to its original factory specifications. Every component, from mechanical systems to trim and finishes, has been researched and executed to reflect how the car left the factory in 1963.
