Mercedes Benz 230 SL from € 790,- per day

In March 1963, the Mercedes 230 SL celebrated its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show and caused quite a stir because of its design.

As its coupé roof is reminiscent of the curved roofs of temple buildings in the Far East, the series quickly received the nickname “Pagoda”.

The 230 SL was the world’s first sports car with a safety body consisting of a rigid passenger cell and crumple zones at the front and rear. This meant that the roadster was not only convincing in terms of comfort and driving performance, but also in terms of driving safety.
