Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagode
The Pagoda, an absolute household name among classic car enthusiasts. This is not just because of its good looks. Before that, you had two beautiful convertibles: the 190SL and the 300SL Gullwing.
However, one was too slow, the other too expensive! That’s why Mercedes came up with this beautiful model with a lot of improvements right away. Safety was paramount, but it had to go hand in hand with form and elegance. ‘Das beste oder nichts.’
The result is a beautiful design without any fuss. The roof was given a safe ‘roll-proof’ construction that rose at the sides. With this design, it was somewhat akin to an Oriental building; a Pagoda. Voila, a ‘spitz name’ was born for this beautiful SL, and later became a legend. Design and engineering came together in a cruiser that screamed to cruise around elegantly in a timeless classic.
You know us a bit by now, and know that we are always looking for something nice, something extra. Ours is an original American-made manual transmission Mercedes 250 SL. This one has been neatly restored and fully documented, just the way you want it!
We ourselves are still amazed at how modern this ‘Sixties-Lovely’ drives. Are you looking for a good investment, a lovely classic cruiser, or both? Come by soon, and let’s go for a drive!- Fully Documented - Great Condition -
