MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer the iconic 1966 Pagoda Mercedes Benz 230SL you see pictured. This 2+2 convertible has the 2.3L engine, fuel injection, a manual transmission and both a factory hardtop and soft top! This particular style of Mercedes is highly sought after and Jeremy Clarkson of "Top Gear" once mentioned that it is "thought of highly" and remembered as "one of the cars from the 1960s that has stood the test of time when Mercedes was still building its cars properly." Finished in Tobacco Brown with a tan pinstripe, the paint is in great condition, showing only minor imperfections such as rock chips, typical of a 47 year old car that has been driven regularly. The body is very straight, as anyone would expect from the German manufacturer! The factory hardtop is finished in accenting tan and looks fantastic upon the brown body. The hardtop is in great condition! The Hartz cloth soft top is also finished in tan with a plastic rear window; however there is a very small hole on each side of the top, from being raised and lowered. All of the glass is intact and in great condition. Inside, the interior is very tidy and crisp. The seats are in excellent condition and wrapped in a very light tan vinyl. There is no backseat in this 2+2 coupe. The carpet is finished in dark brown and gives the car a sense of depth and looks great. The headliner is in great shape with no signs of sag. The door panels are in great shape and match the seats. The dashboard is tan with darker brown inserts and wood veneer, which looks awesome. The dash houses a set of original gauges and an Alpine AM/FM/Cassette player. The original Becker stereo is still in the trunk. This 230SL looks great both inside & out! Under the hood, you will find the 2.3L inline 6 cylinder engine. This particular model is in fact fuel injected for reliability purposes. Attached to the engine is a 4-speed manual transmission, making this car a blast to drive! The car is equipped with power brakes for quick and easy stopping. The Mercedes sits upon a set of 14" color matched steel wheels with Mercedes hubcaps wrapped in P205/70R14 tires. There is a spare tire in the very tidy trunk compartment. This classic and timeless Mercedes Benz could make an excellent Sunday driver or a beautiful addition to any European car collection. The VIN is 11304210014094 (which can be found under the hood on the passenger side of the firewall on a plaque) and the mileage currently shows 64,558. It is being sold on a clean and clear title with the mileage exempt due to age. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
