1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda: Complete Restoration, Matching Numbers, ASI Gold Plate
1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda: Complete Restoration, Matching Numbers, ASI Gold Plate
This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda belongs to the shortest-lived and rarest version of the W113 range. Presented at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show, the 250 SL had entered production in December 1966 and went out of production in January 1968, with approximately 5,196 examples built. It was the first Pagoda with disc brakes on all four wheels, paired with the new 2.5-liter fuel-injected inline six-cylinder engine producing approximately 150 hp, combining the lightness of the early SLs with greater torque and refinement.
Produced on November 23, 1967 for the European market, this car was originally painted DB050 White with DB2310 Medium Blue interior and DB6314 blue bouclé carpeting, the combination it wears again today. Previously treated by Giro Classico, it is now available once more.
Between 2018 and 2020, the car underwent a complete and fully documented restoration. It was completely disassembled and stripped of paint, and every area was rebuilt with the same care, from the structure to the interior. Most of the work was devoted to the bodywork, one of the most delicate areas of any Pagoda. Many structural parts were replaced, and the body shell spent many hours on the jig, where every panel was welded and checked to the millimeter. The hood, trunk lid and doors retain their original numbered panels, with the correct body numbers, a detail highly appreciated by collectors.
The mechanics received the same attention. The original engine was completely disassembled and fitted with new cylinder liners and pistons, while the aluminum cylinder head was rebuilt. The mechanical fuel injection pump was fully overhauled and now carries six new mechanical injectors. The front axle, rear axle and gearbox were rebuilt, and the braking system has new rigid and flexible lines.
The finishing touches complete the work. All chrome parts were re-chromed, while the front and rear bumpers and grille are new stainless steel items, a valid alternative to the original chrome-plated steel with virtually unlimited durability. The interior, soft top and carpeting were redone to the original specification, with new padding and mechanisms in perfect working order. The wood trim on the dashboard and glove compartment is new, while the electrical system and instruments were overhauled and work perfectly.
Presented in its original DB050 White with Medium Blue leather seats, the car offers an elegant and sophisticated contrast, perfectly in keeping with the Mercedes-Benz style of the 1960s. It has covered only 3,000 km since the restoration was completed.
The restoration is fully documented. The car comes with the Mercedes-Benz Data Card documentation supplied by Stuttgart, a detailed photographic book containing over 400 images, Italian registration and ASI certification with Gold Plate.
With its rare 1967 specification, four-wheel disc brakes, original color combination, matching numbers, numbered body panels and restoration documented in every detail, this 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL Pagoda represents a particularly interesting opportunity for the most discerning collector.
