AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
Offered for sale is this Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda (W113), originally delivered in the United States and factory-equipped with a highly desirable manual transmission. The car is currently in running condition, and the odometer shows 66,275 miles. The 250 SL is world-renowned for its elegant design, refined driving characteristics, and timeless proportions. With its manual transmission and open-top capabilities, this example possesses all the right ingredients to become a fantastic classic once the necessary work has been completed.
BODYWORK & PAINT:
The Pagoda is currently finished in white, though its original factory colour is Silver Metallic. The paintwork shows some cracks and age-related imperfections, giving the car an honest, slightly patinated appearance. Importantly, there are no visible rust bubbles in the paint; it has the true charm of an unrestored classic. The car comes with its original removable hardtop. The fitted soft-top is unfortunately no longer watertight and will need to be replaced or refurbished.
TECHNICAL:
Mechanically, the car runs and can be driven, but it should be explicitly seen as a 'running project' rather than a fully sorted or restored example. While the engine starts and the car moves under its own power, the underside has several rust spots that require professional welding work. This makes the vehicle an excellent and rewarding foundation for an enthusiast or restorer looking for a manual Pagoda with plenty of room for further improvement.
INTERIOR:
In contrast to the aged exterior, the interior is in very good condition and presents beautifully. It forms a pleasant contrast with the bodywork and significantly adds to the overall appeal of the car. The cabin retains that iconic, classic Mercedes-Benz atmosphere, featuring the elegant dashboard layout and high-quality materials that make the W113 Pagoda so highly sought after today.
DOCUMENTS:
The Mercedes-Benz was originally imported from the US and is supplied with its American registration documents (USA Title). All import duties and VAT for Europe have already been fully paid.
COLLECTION:
The car is available for viewing and inspection. Please feel free to arrange an appointment through Catawiki to come and inspect this project in person. Worldwide shipping and transport can be arranged upon request; please ask us about our favorable delivery conditions.
OTHER INFORMATION:
In short, this is an honest Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda originally delivered in Silver Metallic, factory-equipped with a manual gearbox and supplied with a hardtop. The car runs and drives but requires technical attention, specifically welding work to the underside and refurbishment of the soft-top. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone looking for a running Pagoda project with a highly desirable specification and immense financial potential upon completion.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
