History
We present a piece that goes beyond conventional restoration and enters the realm of the
truly exceptional: a 1969 Mercedes-Benz Pagoda, meticulously restored and elevated to
a configuration that only the most discerning purists truly appreciate—and, above all,
can actually find: a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Originally, most W113 models—especially in their later series—were delivered with
automatic transmissions or 4-speed manuals. This example breaks from that norm. The
addition of a 5-speed manual gearbox is not merely a technical upgrade, but a clear
statement of intent: it returns full control to the driver and transforms the driving
experience into something more precise, more dynamic, and deeply engaging. In
essence, it is what many believe Mercedes should have offered from the factory—yet
very few have managed to execute to this level.
Its metallic silver finish enhances every timeless line shaped by understated German
elegance, while the deep red interior creates a striking contrast, evoking classic luxury
with a distinctly passionate character. A combination that not only draws attention, but
elevates its presence in any high-end collection or event.
Every detail has been restored with rigor and sensitivity, preserving the authenticity of
the model while allowing this particular example to stand out with a character of its own
among the very best.
