The vendor is offering for sale this 1964 Mercedes SL 230, a W113 series convertible, nicknamed the "Pagoda" because of its concave hardtop. Powered by a 2.3-litre in-line six-cylinder engine and equipped with an automatic gearbox, this car combines the engineering of the 1960s with the elegance of a convertible.
The 230 SL has been designed as a comfortable, high-performance roadster, combining Mercedes-Benz luxury with a more dynamic driving experience than its predecessors.
The car is equipped with a number of practical features, including power steering and front disc brakes, which make it more manoeuvrable in modern traffic conditions.
The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963, replacing the 190 SL and the more powerful 300 SL. Designed by Paul Bracq and Béla Barényi, the W113 SL was the first sports car to feature a rigid passenger compartment with front and rear crumple zones, ushering in a new era of automotive safety.
Equipped with Bosch mechanical fuel injection and developing around 150 bhp, the 230 SL offered a clever blend of performance and sophistication. Although not a sports car in the traditional sense, it could be driven comfortably at motorway speeds and offered reassuring handling thanks to its independent rear suspension.
The W113 was produced from 1963 to 1971, with the 230 SL constituting the first phase of production until 1967. Although it was the first model in the series, the 230 SL was increasingly sought after by collectors for its cleaner lines, simpler functionality and more direct driving feel than the later 250 SL and 280 SL variants.
With its timeless design, reliable in-line six-cylinder engine and reputation for quality, the 230 SL earned its place as one of the most iconic convertibles of the 1960s. Today, it remains a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts for its balanced character: sporty enough to be entertaining, yet refined enough for grand touring.
