This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL received a full restoration between 2010-2014 when it was still in the US. Several updates to the braking and cooling system were also performed as detailed below. The body was repainted in Signal Red, exterior chrome was refinished, and a replacement soft top frame was installed. New carpet, leather seat covers, and door panels were also fitted during the restoration. This W113 is sold with nearly $134k in receipts and invoices, as well as an unrestored Pagoda hardtop and Belgian registration.
Finished from the factory in Arabian Grey (124) with a contrasting black (040) hardtop, the car was completely stripped in 2010 and repainted in the current Signal Red while with the previous owner. All exterior brightwork was re-chromed at the same time, and new OEM bumpers were sourced and refinished. Color-matched steel wheels were fitted with Goodyear whitewall tires in 2010.
A new tan soft top was fitted along with a new frame during the restoration and is detailed in the gallery below. The unrestored factory Pagoda hardtop is also included and finished in black.
Originally trimmed in Medium Red (117) MB-Tex vinyl from the factory, the cabin was refinished by the previous owner with Bamboo (249) leather seat covers and matching door panels and carpets. All instruments, controls, and powered accessories remain functional according to the seller. Mileage is shown at 27,705 miles and believed by the seller to be accurate.
New leather seat covers present well and are accompanied by new seat cushions for both occupants.
Both the 2.3-liter inline-six and 4-speed manual gearbox were disassembled and completely overhauled with new components prior to reassembly. Additional work included:
Detailed images highlight the condition of the assorted fittings, hardware, and rubber components. The factory spot welds along the original fender panels are also shown. The most recent servicing was an oil change performed prior to the sale.
The vehicle data card is shown above and provides information on how this 230SL was equipped from the factory. The engine, hardtop, and transmission are said to be original, with numbers matching this card.
Several lift photos are included in the gallery and highlight the underside, which retains its older rubberized undercoating.
Receipts and invoices included in the sale provide documentation of the restoration process completed in 2014 and total nearly $134k.
