This Mercedes-Benz 230 SL ‘Pagoda’ is a refined classic roadster, accompanied by the desirable factory hard-top. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.3-litre inline-six, delivering around 110kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The car was imported to Australia from the USA in October 2012. Having been kept in dry storage for 13 years, it has not been started in that time, and will require a thorough recommissioning service before returning to the road. The odometer shows 17,444 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1967 This 230 SL is finished in an appealing shade of white, with a black convertible roof and a body-coloured hard-top, over a red ‘MB-Tex’ vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring perforated seat inserts, a white central dashboard, and chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels finished in white, wrapped in Regal Pacesetter tyres. The factory specification includes a two-bar steering wheel, heater and ventilation controls, a VDO analogue clock, and a Blaupunkt push-button radio. Accompanying the vehicle will be its vehicle import approval certificate. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition.

However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
