FULLY RESTORED 1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 250SL ROADTSER - A MUST SEE

     Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous. mechanically strong and entirely honest 1968 Mercedes Benz 250SL upgraded Mercedes Benz 2. 8 litre in-line 6 cylinder engine. 4 speed manual transmission. late style alloy wheels. factory hard top. owner's manuals and pouch. tool roll and jack. fresh servicing by Ken and Darin McCay's Boston Sportscar. used sparingly since 2006 restoration by marque specialist Jurgen Klockemann. Finished in rare. desirable and factory correct Silver (DB 180) over a Red leather interior. Sporting the sought-after 4 speed manual gearbox. this well maintained example is turn-key mechanically and an absolute joy on the road. Retaining the tell tale headlamp notches. factory spot welds on the fenders and a solid. original undercarriage. this car checks all the important boxes for discerning W113 SL buyers.

     Silver (DB 180) is a hard to find factory color. wonderfully era specific and truly striking on the Pagoda body. This car's finish is beautiful. deep. lustrous. consistent and marred only by the most negligible of imperfections. none of which are significant enough to appear in any of the pictures. The body is excellent; straight. and retaining correct and consistent panel fits and gaps throughout. The chrome is in great shape. as is the glass and rubber. and the wheels are wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread.

     The car's Red interior is equally as clean. offsetting the Silver beautifully. The leather seats and correct square weave carpets are in great shape. free of any significant wear or damage and showing only limited patina. The dash is free of cracks. housing an original Becker radio and fully functional gauges and appointed with beautifully refinished wood trim.

     The car is in excellent mechanical condition. the engine firing up easily. idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the manual transmission's gears. It's worth noting for those unfamiliar with Mercedes W113 Sls that factory manual gearboxes are extremely desirable due to the way that they're geared compared to the automatic transmission models. which were produced in a much higher volume. The automatic cars are somewhat sluggish. with high RPMS at highway speeds. Conversely. manual gearbox cars are agile and punchy are feel much less beleaguered when bombing down the freeway. The car's ride quality is excellent. the suspension tight and brakes strong and true. ensuring that the car is pleasure from behind the wheel. whether tooling through town. winding through the canyons or cruising at 75 mph.

     This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a quickly appreciating Mercedes 250SL with all the right things going for it: cosmetically gorgeous. rare color combination. solid original undercarriage and fenders. strong engine and desirable manual gearbox. Whether for the seasoned collector or weekend enthusiast. this car deserves the serious consideration of anyone in the Pagoda market.
