About this car
This is a right-hand-drive 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL, the original 'Pagoda' W113 and the first of the line before it became the 250SL and then the 280SL. It is the less common automatic, with power steering, and comes with both hard and soft tops.
The car has just emerged from a full component-off restoration by marque specialists. The bodyshell was rebuilt on a Celette jig using about £25,000 of original-specification OEM panels, and the paint is Standox. The engine, transmission and fuel injection pump were rebuilt, along with the suspension, brakes and fuel system. The chrome was repaired and re-plated.
It is finished in a bespoke Mercedes-Benz AMG Diamond White Pearl with a mid-red leather interior and matching carpets. The dealer quotes delivery mileage, with some further running-in and set-up by its own team, but gives no odometer figure. A list of the restoration work is available on request.

Performance
The maker’s official figures for this model, not measurements of this car (Mercedes-Benz factory data for the W113 230SL (150 PS, 200 km/h, manual). The factory only gave 0-100 km/h (about 10.7s), so 0-60 is null.).
