Description
A rare original dry climate, matching numbers, never rusted example of a 250SL that has never seen salt or snow, and did have a current MOT. Just imagine a car that still has the original paint on the springs and shock absorbers........ All of our cars are like that.
Mercedes-Benz released the 250SL in 1966 to supercede the 230SL. The model offered a larger engine displacement which resulted in more low end power that the 230SL was lacking.
Originally the "Pagoda" range of 230, 250 & 280SL, which replaced the beautiful yet under powered 190SL, were released to take on the British dominated open-top sports car market. Mercedes-Benz opted to achieve this by creating a vehicle of superior design, quality and reliability rather than outright performance. The result is a vehicle that has withstood the test of time.
This vehicle presented today has been in a dry climate for the previous 34 years, before migrating to the UK not long ago. The car has had a recent light mechanical overhaul of its original matching number engine and is in excellent driving order.
The car comes with a complete and original tool kit and jack, as well as the original spare wheel, along with some history.
For genuine purchasers, please call for further details.
