About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

One repaint. Newer transmission. Small dent in front bumper. Very good paint. Tidy original engine bay and undercarriage. Good original interior other than the driver's seat, which has numerous small rips in the upholstery from use and age. A cosmetically refreshed Pagoda that's been used for fun and nothing serious, but still presents very well.

Market commentary

W113 Mercedes-Benzes make great classic drivers thanks to their durability, comfort and adequate if not tire-squealing performance, so this one is great for someone who wants a casual, pretty classic to have for fun. These cars turned 50 a couple of years ago and prices have shot up, pulled along by 7-figure 300SLs and ludicrous prices for 190SLs. This price for a decent car is appropriate.
