Mercedes-Benz - 230 SL Pagoda - 1966
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Original European specification model produced in 1966
• Four owners from new, currently part of a Czech private collection
• Benefits from prior body respray work
• Supplied with de-registered Swedish documentation
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
Originally delivered to Belgium in 1966 as an European-market specification model, this vehicle is reported to have had four owners from new. It was owned by two proprietors in Belgium, followed by one in Sweden, before joining a private vehicle collection in the Czech Republic. The car received restoration work in the past, which is believed to have included a full body respray and a potential interior refresh, though no formal paperwork from this process is available. Currently, the vehicle is accompanied by de-registered Swedish paperwork and can be registered, with the option for Czech registration if the buyer is a Czech resident.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The car previously received a complete body respray. However, the underside of the vehicle represents its primary weak point, with visible corrosion present on the side sills.
INTERIOR:
The interior is in a very good condition with nicely upholstered seats and doorpanels. The dashboard is in very good condition as well. The carpet is clean and has little wear on it.
MECHANICS:
The engine and gearbox operate without issues and appear to be the original units, likely having undergone extensive servicing during the previous restoration. Several oil leaks are noted, mainly visible on the underside of the vehicle.
DOCUMENTS:
The car comes with de-registered Swedish paperwork. No historical documentation regarding the past restoration process is available.
The vehicle can be viewed and picked up. Bids do not include transportation or export costs unless stated otherwise. Arranging transport, transfer of ownership, and any applicable export/COC fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
