The Appeal

Mercedes-Benz’ W113 sports car blended the style and performance of the 300SL and 190SL into a car that kick-started a lineage of convertibles that continues to this day.

Here we have a particularly lovely example, finished in white with well kept tan leather cabin. Desirable features include the 2.3L straight six engine, a manual gearbox and factory details like the original Becker Grand Prix radio. A factory hard top in black is included.

We are told that the car has never been welded and retains its matching numbers engine.

This is an original European-specification car in great order. It has resided in the Netherlands since 1990 and retains its Dutch registration paperwork.
