1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL

"I hope it melts, I hope it overheats — we really don’t get along all that well... It’s a Mercedes SL, of course it doesn’t!"— Jeremy Clarkson

1963 was a milestone in automotive history, with the introduction of, among others, the iconic Mercedes-Benz SL W113, better known as the “Pagoda.” This sporty two-seater combines the brilliant design of Paul Bracq with outstanding performance and comfort.

This special example from 1967, finished in dark green with an “Antique Light Yellow” interior, has been meticulously maintained and is fully documented. Originally delivered in Paris, the car later moved to the United States and returned to Europe in 2016, where it underwent an extensive restoration.

The 250 SL is equipped with the rare ZF five-speed gearbox, power steering, a power hardtop, and Phoenix tires. Only 820 Pagodas were fitted with this manual transmission, of which just 112 were 250 SLs — making this particular example exceptionally exclusive.

It comes with the original manuals, service book, and a complete set of maintenance invoices dating back to 1978.

This is a unique opportunity for the serious enthusiast or collector seeking a classic with history, character, and absolute presence.
