The 250 version of the Pagoda is the rarest and sportiest of the models. When mated to its legendary automatic transmission it is a marriage made for the open road.

Here we have a very special matching numbers 1967 250SL which has only covered 31000 miles from new, fully documented with the original bill of sale and all books, finished in the rare and genuinely stunning colourway of 178 Medium grey metallic with Caviar trim. Automatic gearbox with power steering. Hard top with chrome roof rails, new black soft top just fitted. Also tinted glass (all round). This is a special car indeed having never been welded nor restored

The car was originally sold to Walter C Pew, the family is noted for being the owners of Sunoco Oil and one of the wealthiest families in the US.

It has a full service history with the original service book fully stamped until 11/08/1985 at 26917 miles when Walter Pew gave it to his daughter Ann Pew Curran. She continued regular maintenance with Slifer Motor Works PA which is also fully documented with the last invoice being "state inspection" on 30th April 2013 with the mileage noted at 30684.

She later sold it on 26th August 2013 to Joseph Slifer who had previously maintained it. He put it into storage until he sold the storage facility to a dealer who bought the car inside it. The mileage at point of sale on 28th February 2022 was noted to be 30,687 miles.

Noted MB expert Paul Sumner carried out an extensive service including re-bushing the rear axle, changing all hoses and further works in excess of £4,000. At the same time a set of Michelin MXV-P tyres and new seat belts were also fitted.

Today this extremely low mileage car presents in fabulous original condition, particularly the interior with original carpet, rubber floor mats, and Becker radio. The engine compartment is also worthy of a close look as it is simply so original

Accompanying the car is the very complete book pack in the original wallet including the very rare service book, many invoices from Ann Pews ownership, a rare factory tool kit, the jack which appears unused. In addition is an near complete set of insurance cards from the Pew family ownership.

It is not often one finds a car with such a comprehensive history with a genuinely low mileage and exceptional provenance like this, genuinely one of a kind and an enjoyable rock solid investment.
