What happens if you want a convertible electric sports car, but don’t quite fancy the MG Cyberster, or a lengthy wait for the Polestar 6? The answer – for now, and if your pockets are sufficiently deep – is the beautiful Mercedes you see before you.
It began life in 1968 as an SL W113, a model better known as the Pagoda. The Pagoda is a two-seat convertible that was produced between 1963 and 1971, and whose owners included the likes of John Lennon, Tina Turner and Audrey Hepburn, plus Harry Styles and F1 driver David Coulthard in more recent years.
