SOLD: 1964 230 SL for sale by member
« on: September 22, 2023, 10:13:05 »
Dear Pagoda friends,

I have decided to part with my Pagoda. It has not been an easy decision after almost ten years of happy ownership. However, the car has been very little driven the last years. Over the years, the average milage is only 1000 km (620 miles) per year. Still, I have maintained it regularly (oil, filter, greasing etc.). I hope the car will find a new caretaker that, like me, appreciate all the positive with owning a Pagoda.

I have compiled a prospect with all info and photos that can be dowloaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bybm37tx63d28c2dhugfg/1964-230-SL-prospect.pdf?rlkey=dxzycy2ysya68d6kbrbmryqrv&dl=0

I'm asking €92,000 o.b.o. The car is located in Gothenburg, Sweden.

I would appreciate if you guys could recommend which internet sites that are relevant to post an ad on.

Beautiful car Johan and great write-up. Sorry to hear you have to let it go.

I am located in the US. Do you have any info on what is involved in shipping the car to the US (costs, time, etc.)?

Thanks!

Gorgeous car and one of the most detailed write ups that I have ever seen. This should sell well and quickly.

One question, why are both door mirrors turned 180 degrees the wrong way? Easy fix, just curious if you always have them this way, or if others do as well?

Actually, the mirrors fitted by previous owner, are larger than original and has a split vision - ”Blind Spot Information System”  ;)

Very interesting, I have never seen this. As mentioned an easy fix to reverse back to original. Good luck with the sale, it is a gorgeous car.

Now, my Pagoda is sold to a member here. I'm happy that it will come in the hands of a true "care taker".
