Condition:

This Pagoda has undergone a bare-metal front-end repaint performed by The SL Shop in 2021, preserving the iconic lines and elegance of its design. The hard-top is in excellent condition, with tidy headlining and user-friendly integrated release handles. The exterior trim, light lenses, and window glass are all in good condition, complemented by tidy wheels with Michelin MXV tyres (dated 2021) showing ample tread.

Inside, the interior design of the Pagoda offers both elegance and functionality. The California Coupe configuration provides a padded rear bench seat instead of the optional jump seat, maximizing passenger comfort. The period Clarion radio and door speakers add a touch of authenticity, while the carpets, wood trim, and switchgear are all well-preserved and operational.

The engine has been serviced and maintained by The SL Shop, ensuring strong, smooth performance and a playful, free-revving character. The suspension provides a comfortable ride, the brakes are strong, and the automatic transmission shifts cleanly and seamlessly.
