Why the Pagode?
More than a classic Mercedes.
Introduced in 1963, the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL represented a new generation of European grand touring.
Designed by Paul Bracq, its balanced proportions and distinctive concave hardtop gave the W113 its enduring nickname: the Pagode.
Combining elegant design, engineering innovation and performance, the Pagode became one of Mercedes-Benz's most recognisable models.
More than six decades later, high-quality examples remain sought after internationally, with originality, condition and provenance key factors in collectability.
Why this Pagode?
A carefully selected 1965 example.
This is not exposure to “classic cars” in general. It is exposure to this specific car.
Matching numbers
The car retains its matching-numbers six-cylinder engine, an important element of authenticity and collectability.
Specialist restoration
Fully restored in 2020 by Paris Pagode, a specialist atelier dedicated to Mercedes-Benz W113 models.
Documented provenance
A documented history, including acquisition through SAGA, an official Mercedes-Benz dealer group with a dedicated classic-car operation.
Museum exhibition
Placed on long-term loan to Autoworld Brussels, with planned exhibition until 2035.
Matching numbers. Specialist restoration. Documented provenance. Museum exhibition.
These characteristics distinguish this Pagode from an ordinary driver-grade classic car.
From collectible car to investment asset
Why investors look beyond traditional assets
Collectible cars derive their value from a combination of scarcity, desirability, originality, condition and provenance.
Within this market, the Mercedes-Benz W113 Pagode is an internationally established collectible, with exceptional examples differentiated by characteristics such as matching numbers, original specification, specialist restoration and documented provenance.
