The car offered a perfect balance between sporty and luxury characteristics, making it an ideal companion for both long journeys and weekend getaways. A total of 19, 831 units of the 230SL model were produced, making it a highly sought-after collector’s item.
This specific car, from 1964, has a rich history. In 2005, it found its way to the Czech Republic, where it changed hands in 2012 and has remained in the same family ever since. As for recent servicing, two years ago, the car underwent a major inspection, including the replacement of oil, fluids, filters, belts, clutch cylinders, and the sealing of the differential. The spark plugs, cables, and fuel float were also replaced. In 2024, another inspection was carried out, during which oils and filters, including transmission oil, were changed again, and a new ignition coil was installed. This meticulous approach to maintenance ensures the car retains its value and functionality, which is crucial for its preservation for future generations.
The vehicle features a foldable fabric roof and also comes with a hardtop in elegant white.
