We have a very nice European supplied 1965 230SL Pagoda. This very attractively finished car arrived in the Netherlands in 2006. Externally it has a white finish complemented by its blue interior and matching hood. This probably represents the most distinguished and understated choice of any possible combination available for this timeless design. The bodywork is very neat. The nice thin panelwork is correctly aligned. The resprayed paintwork still holds up very well. Whilst there are some signs of wear on the panel and paintwork, it does not amount to anything significant. The used hood also still can hold its own and easily opens and closes securely. The car has been fitted with standard steel rims with the original hubcaps which are finished partially in chrome and part colour-coded. The rims are shod in proper sized and good quality rubber. To top it all we find the remaining brightwork is in very neat condition.

The fully original interior trim still presents finely. The leather has developed an alluring patina, the carpets too are in good condition. The instruments and controls are all in great shape and look exquisite. The Pagoda’s gauges are still a brilliant piece of design. The car furthermore has a modern Mercedes-Benz radio.

A good running engine is an M180 derived straight-six, producing 150 Ps attached to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Over the last 15 years, the car has been expertly maintained and as such drives supremely well. The SL’s road manners are designed with providing comfort in mind. The great-sounding engine is still in rude health. The brakes are perfectly responsive. Features like its lighting are also perfectly in order.

This is a very fine European supplied Mercedes-Benz 230SL in a very fetching finish and it is in all aspects perfectly sound.
