Called the "Golden
Pagoda" in honor of its unusual pagoda shaped hardtop, the 230SL was
introduced at the Geneva Auto Show in 1963.
It truly was the re-invention of the sports car for daily use.The SL
combined all of the comforts of a touring car and the performance of a
sports car, It was designed with front and rear crumple
zones--something new for the day.
This particular 230SL has only traveled 62,000 miles under the care of
only two long time owners. It is equipped with power steering and brakes
a smooth 4 speed manual transmission, soft top and the infamous pagoda
hardtop.
A fresh repaint in the original red was done to high standards several
years ago and is superb. The original blac tex interior is also
excellent. The engine runs smooth and quiet and is a joy to drive. Now
equipped with radial tires for safety, it is ready for any tour or
daily use.
Drive it and you will want it in your car barn !! 54,500.
