You know those cars that just ooze class? This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL Pagode is one of them. But it's not just about looks; this beauty has a secret weapon – a super rare factory-fitted ZF 5-speed manual gearbox. Seriously, finding a Pagode with this original option is like finding a needle in a haystack (only about 882 ever had it!). It's the kind of detail that makes serious collectors weak at the knees.

She's dressed in her original Havana Brown paint – a really sophisticated, warm color – and the inside is a gorgeous Cognac leather that just feels right. And yes, the proper hardtop is included, so you're ready for any kind of weather, or just to admire that iconic 'Pagode' roofline.

Now, here's the best part: this classic has been treated to a proper spa day by the wizards at MW Classic in Germany. They've brought her back to an incredibly high standard, and honestly, the pictures don't even fully capture how good she looks. Since this top-notch restoration, she's only been gently driven for about 1,000 kilometers – barely stretched her legs!

Right now, she's got her German papers, but don't worry about the paperwork hassle. We'll take care of getting her registered here in Belgium for you, so you can just focus on enjoying the open road.

The Pagode, launched back in '63, quickly became an icon. It wasn't trying to be the fastest kid on the block, even with that "SL" (Super Leicht) badge. But it had this undeniable charm, this feeling of effortless style and quality. Mercedes really nailed the engineering, too. They took an already good engine and made it even better for the 230SL, giving it that smooth, confident power thanks to the clever Bosch fuel injection. It's the kind of car that just eats up the miles on a long drive, making you feel like you're on a permanent stylish getaway.

This '66 Pagode isn't just a car; it's a piece of automotive history, a rare find with that special ZF gearbox. If you're looking for something truly collectible, something that turns heads and feels fantastic to drive, this could be the one. Get in touch, and let's talk about making her yours. You won't regret it.
