1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagode for Sale in Germany

This 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL Pagode is a used car showing 53,700 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Red with a Black interior. It is a 2-seat car and has had 8 previous owners.

What sets this Pagoda apart lies under its aluminium bonnet: the original 2.3-litre unit has given way to a genuine M130 six from the 280 SL, the engine that crowned the W113 range, so the car pairs the early body with the stronger late mechanicals. The conversion is entered in the registration papers and leaves the historic H plate untouched.

First registered in Germany and described as accident-free, it comes with a fabric soft top that the seller judges sound. He reports an engine that runs very smoothly, answers the throttle eagerly and sounds superb, a precise and harmonious gear change, and a car that is honest and well cared for, inside and out.

The car is located in Kranzberg, Germany.

The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL uses the 2,778 cc M130 straight-six of the 280 SL, fitted here in place of the original 2,308 cc M127, with fuel injection and a single overhead camshaft, rated at 170 PS (125 kW) and 244 Nm, with a four-speed manual or four-speed automatic, the ZF five-speed optional from May 1966, and rear-wheel drive.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 230 SL in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz 230 SL priced above or below the European market?

At €74,000, it sits below the median of €103,995 for the 4 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. 0% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

The car is located in Kranzberg, Germany. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz 230 SL compare?

53,700 km recorded, against a median of 27,152 km across the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.
