Going to view a classic 1966 230SL Pagoda - Advice :

[Por911T]

I realise this is a big ask : shortly I'm going to view a 1966 Mercedes 230SL Pagoda.... what are the main points I should be looking for. Now, for clarity I'm in the trade (albeit we sell commercial vehicles), but this is for me. I know my way around a vehicle so have a full mechanical understanding of all aspects. I'm just wondering what the main points to look for on them are ( except for rust ! )

Thanks in advance, Barry C (Glasgow)

Beautiful car.

Best advice is get hold of The Essential Buyers Guide for Pagodas’’ published by Veloce. Really useful. Or join https://www.sl113.org/
