This Mercedes 250SL “Pagoda” Roadster is a remarkable example of an early W113 model. Model year 1967 is the only year the 250SL was offered before Mercedes moved on to the 280SL, making this model one of the rarest and most desirable in its class. The light ivory hardtop accent the Dark Green (code 268H) body elegantly. This carefully maintained one-owner Euro-spec car was purchased new in Germany. It has spent the majority of its life in Arizona’s arid climate ensuring pristine condition in all aspects.

This particular Pagoda is equipped with a multitude of options including a Euro gauge cluster, factory soft-top delete option, Bosch Euro “fishbowl” headlamps and orange Euro foglamps. The car has 80,450 original miles and is sure to continue smoothly for decades to come when considering the notable reliability of the 2.5-liter, 148-hp inline six-cylinder engine with Bosch fuel injection under the hood. The four-speed manual transmission shifts effortlessly through the gates and it’s an absolute pleasure to drive. Braking capabilities are more than adequate with disc brakes found at all corners. The car is easy to use, sporting, comfortable and very reliable. As such it ended up in the driveways and garages of both sports car enthusiasts and those who simply wanted a comfortable, reliable two-door convertible.

It would be hard to find a ’67 Roadster to rival this delightful car being offered today.
