After a few years, the 250SL was sold in 1971 to a family friend, who has owned the car for 53 years since then. The 250SL has had only one owner and the full service history is available. The service book is stamped by Mercedes and a further stack of service invoices confirms that this is a true enthusiast's car. Currently, this original Pagoda has covered just 156,000 km, meaning it has only been used for leisure trips in the most perfect conditions. What's more, the car comes with the original owner's manual and two additional manuals specific to the 250SL engine and W113 body.This Pagoda stands out from all the others because it is exceptionally original, completely unrestored and beautifully patinated.   The incredible level of originality of this Pagoda makes it look like a real time capsule. The superb original chrome, woodwork and carpets show no signs of wear. The leather is beautifully maintained and, as a result, the seats, door panels and dashboard are as pleasing to the eye as they were on the day of delivery. The interior is complemented by an original Philips radio and a sporty manual gear lever. The car starts easily and, with 150 bhp, has plenty of power to spare. The gearbox shifts smoothly, the seats are extremely comfortable and the steering is pleasantly light. Needless to say, driving this beauty is an absolute pleasure.   Although the first 250SL resembled the classic 230 aesthetically, from the outset it benefited from technical modifications and innovations that would later be found on the 280. These modifications allowed the 250SL to look like a beautiful 230, but feel like a newer 280 when driving. A total of 48,912 Pagodas were produced, of which the 250SL is by far the rarest, with just one year of production and 5,196 examples. A 250 SL manual ?California? is a unique model, named after the American state because this special version was mainly ordered in warmer climates. While a typical Pagoda could be fitted with optional single rear seats, the California was distinguished by the use of a large double rear bench seat. Cette Pagode unique est une occasion sur mille et répond à tous les critères possibles : une voiture belge entièrement non restaurée dans sa peinture d'origine, le moteur 250 recherché avec boîte de vitesses manuelle, une rare capote californienne et la propriété de la même famille de passionnés de Mercedes depuis plus de 50 ans.
