1963 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL

This exceptional Mercedes Benz Pagoda 230SL is a truly rare automobile, produced during the very first week of production in 1963. A distinction that places it among the earliest examples ever built. Cars from this initial production period are extraordinarily scarce and represent the purest expression of Paul Bracq’s iconic Pagoda design.

The vehicle has been fully restored with uncompromising attention to detail, faithfully returned to its original factory specifications. Every component, from mechanical systems to trim and finishes, has been researched and executed to reflect how the car left the factory in 1963.

Correct materials, finishes, and period-accurate details were used throughout, ensuring complete historical authenticity. A rare opportunity for the discerning collector seeking originality, craftsmanship, and historical significance in one remarkable automobile.

Owning this car is, of course, a guarantee of reliability and everyday driving pleasure — but it is also something far greater: an investment in history.

Its historical significance is remarkable. Finding such an early example today is exceptionally rare — and discovering one in this breathtaking, fully matching and meticulously restored condition is rarer still.

The most important stages of the restoration were carefully documented in detailed photographs, all of which are digitally included with the vehicle — a visual chronicle of the craftsmanship, dedication, and authenticity that define this extraordinary automobile.
