For sale is one of the most substantively honest and best-documented Pagodas on the European market. This vehicle from the final and most sought-after 1971 model year impresses with verifiable original substance that has been comprehensively certified by experts.
The indisputable facts for collectors & investors:
• Certified top condition (grade 2+): The renowned automotive appraisal office of Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Kukuk comprehensively inspected the vehicle on a lift, carried out a micrometer paint-thickness measurement, and officially certified the car with a market value of €160,000 and an overall grade of 2+ (Ø 1.75).
• 100% unwelded body: The frame, the entire floor assembly, the wheel wells and the fenders are demonstrably completely unwelded and in untouched factory condition. All aluminum hoods and doors were installed at the factory.
• 100% matching numbers: The engine (No. 130983-12-016041) and transmission (No. 010882) are absolutely original and factory-installed. The original 1971 Mercedes-Benz paper data card is present in its original form and verifies all numbers right through to the front axle stamping.
• Excellent engineering & driving comfort: The M130 engine starts immediately both cold and warm, and runs completely smoke-free and quietly. The original Bosch six-plunger injection pump operates flawlessly, and the automatic transmission shifts buttery smooth. The engine bay presents in a clean, honest original condition with the correct yellow-zinc-plated lines.
