The famous French designer Paul Bracq deserves a round of applause from all European auto lovers around the globe. He is the creative mind behind Mercedes-Benz's most glamorous and desirable models. Among them, the Pagoda is a cherished example built between 1967 and 1971. The one Pagoda nickname stems from the design of the hardtop roof, which is similar to the roofs of traditional Asian pagodas. It was also called the Mercedes-Benz W 113 and made history as the first sports car with a "safety body." What we have here is a 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL showing just 47,700 miles on its clock. Its owner claims that they are the second owner of this car, and it is mostly original. It currently resides in California and is awaiting its next lucky owner.
Mercedes-Benz Introduced their roadster at the Geneva Motor Show back in 1963, with production beginning shortly after. The beautiful design of this two-door sports car was thanks to lead designers, Paul Bracq and Bela Barenyi, who were responsible for the creation of the patented, slightly concave, hardtop — a feature that incited the ‘Pagoda’ nickname. The car grabbed the attention of enthusiasts worldwide, claiming its place on the list of many motoring journals as one of the most beautiful cars that were ever made. This sublime example of German auto craftsmanship can be observed in Georgia with no more than 9600 miles of labor, making it a rare piece for anyone who gets the opportunity to claim ownership
