1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL for Sale in Hungary

This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230 SL is a used car showing 603 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in White with a Blue interior. It is a 2-seat car and has had 2 previous owners.

This 230 SL is one of the first W113 roadsters, the series nicknamed Pagoda after the concave roof of its hardtop, and it dates from August 1965. The seller describes a complete restoration down to the last bolt, with white paint, a blue interior and period-correct trim, a colour pairing seldom seen.

The listing shows 603 km and two previous owners; the seller does not say whether that distance counts from the restoration. The photographs show the blue seats, the cream dashboard with its period radio, the four-speed manual gear lever and the straight-six engine bay.

The car is located in Budapest, Hungary.

The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL uses the 2,308 cc M127 straight-six with Bosch mechanical injection and four main bearings, rated at 150 PS (110 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 196 Nm, for 200 km/h, with a four-speed manual or four-speed automatic, the ZF five-speed optional from May 1966. The chassis comes from the W111 saloon, and the removable hardtop with its concave roof gave the car its Pagoda nickname. It was sold as a roadster with a soft top and an optional hardtop.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz 230 SL in the European market

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

At €126,990, it sits below the median of €139,995 for the 400 Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. 45% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz be bought in Hungary and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Budapest, Hungary. 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 much did this Mercedes-Benz 230 SL cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €11,351 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €126,990, 1019% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1963 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz compare?

603 km recorded, against a median of 17,250 km across the Mercedes-Benz advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz are priced closest to this one?

a 2024 car in Sweden at €127,900, and a 1938 car in Slovakia at €125,000. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 230 SL, and how does a purchase work?

FZ Cars, a professional dealer in Budapest, Hungary. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 230 SL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Budapest, Hungary, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
