What's more, the value of this attractive-looking car is on the rise. Please note that the technical inspection was unfavorable due to a point of corrosion on the chassis. 1964 MERCEDES-BENZ 230 SL PAGODE Serial number: 11304210002641 Good cosmetic and mechanical condition French registration 45 000/ 55 000 Nicknamed "Pagoda" because of its domed hard-top, this German cabriolet was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1963.
