  • Factory air conditioning
  • Automatic transmission

  • Recent partial restoration
  • Registered in the UK

Finished in its original colour combination of Dark Red with Charcoal Black MB-Tex trim and matching mohair hood, this beautiful 'Pagoda' was built in left-hand drive configuration and ordered with factory options including automatic transmission, power steering, and air conditioning. The Mercedes was delivered new to the USA where it was acquired by the current vendor. Since its arrival in the UK in March 2019 the car has undergone substantial refurbishment, benefiting from new OEM-specification carpets, fully refurbished woodwork, and the installation of a brand new mohair convertible hood.

Upon returning to the vendor's own workshop, the SL was extensively detailed and fitted with new shock absorbers. The car has also been repainted and the brightwork re-chromed. The final finish has now been completed and the Mercedes stands proudly on its whitewall tyres, awaiting its new owner.

The SL Pagoda series has always been very popular. With the 'Pagoda' hardtop fitted this SL looks outstanding and with it removed the car is superbly proportioned. Boasting disc brakes, fuel injection and the (optional) power steering, as in this case, these cars are effortless to drive and have stood the test of time. Beautiful examples such as this one are highly sought after and hard to find.

Châssis n° 11304412001789

  • Air conditionné d'origine
  • Transmission automatique
  • Nouvelle capote en mohair
  • Restauration partielle récente
  • Immatriculée au Royaume-Uni Dans sa livrée d'origine rouge foncée avec sa sellerie noire anthracite en MB-Tex et sa capote en mohair assortie, cette magnifique « Pagode » a été construite avec conduite à gauche et commandée avec des options incluant la transmission automatique, la direction assistée et l'air conditionné. La Mercedes a été livrée neuve aux États-Unis où elle a été achetée par le vendeur. Depuis son arrivée au Royaume-Uni en mars 2019, la voiture a subi une rénovation importante, recevant des moquettes aux caractéristiques OEM, a vu ses boiseries refaites et l'installation d'une nouvelle capote en mohair.

Après son retour à l'atelier du vendeur, la SL a été minutieusement finie et a reçu de nouveaux amortisseurs. La voiture a également été repeinte et les chromes ont été refaits. La touche finale a été apportée et la Mercedes achevée est campée sur de magnifiques pneus à flancs blancs, en attente de son nouveau propriétaire.

La série des « Pagode » SL a toujours été très populaire. Avec son hardtop « Pagode » en place, cette SL a une allure folle et lorsqu'il est absent, elle est magnifiquement proportionnée. Avec des freins à disque, l'injection et la direction assistée (en option), comme dans le cas présent, ces voitures se conduisent sans effort et ont bien passé l'épreuve du temps. De superbes exemplaires comme celui-ci sont très recherchés et difficile à trouver.
