The Mercedes-Benz SL has long been regarded as one of the most desirable classic grand tourers, with the iconic 'Pagoda' models among the most sought-after examples.

Combining elegant styling, effortless performance and open-top motoring, the W113 SL offers a unique blend of luxury and usability, with its beautifully engineered removable hardtop allowing enjoyment in all seasons.This exceptional example was sold new in the United States of America to Mr David Kennedy, who enjoyed ownership of the car for some thirty-six years before it was sold and imported to the UK in 2005.

Following its arrival, the car underwent a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration by Mercedes-Benz Pagoda specialists Silchester Garage.The result is a beautifully presented example, finished in Black with a Cream leather interior.

The car is accompanied by extensive documentation, including photographs of the restoration, within a comprehensive history file.
