#230 sl

[demoralised]

This Pagoda is the work of a mad scientist. Kwiek Classics stuffed a thumping 5.4L AMG V8 and a 6-speed manual into a '63 Mercedes 230 SL. With a 5-link CLK rear suspension, it’s a gorgeous classic turned into a serious backroad weapon. A brilliant fusion of vintage elegance and raw power.

Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda 

The very pretty and highly desirable Mercedes-Benz 250SL was the successor to the popular 230 SL and was first introduced to the public at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show. The brief production run ended a year later in January 1968 and as a result of this short run, the 250 SL is the rarest of the W 113 (Pagoda) series cars. These lovely German stalwarts were offered with a four-speed automatic, a four-speed manual box or the ZF five-speed. Also, for the first time an optional limited slip differential was also available.
