1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL

Description

Mercedes-Benz embarked on a new single-platform policy for its sports cars with the new 2.3L 230SL, which was internally designated “W113” and debuted in Geneva in 1963. Body lines were penned by Paul Bracq, and Bela Barényi engineered a host of industry-leading, built-in safety features. With form following function, the new SL's optional hardtop offered high strength, and its unique shape inspired the new car's “Pagoda” nickname. Available for purchase from the summer of 1963, the 230SL was succeeded by the 2.5L 250SL. Debuted at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show, the 250SL also brought improved seat belts, a collapsible steering column and new 4-wheel disc brakes. Briefly produced from November/December 1966 to January 1968, the 250SL is the rarest of Mercedes-Benz's W113 series with 5,196 built. Delivering greater horsepower output and torque, the 250SL retained the stiffer suspension and sporty, responsive feel of the 230SL, making the 250SL ideal for enthusiastic drivers.

This classic Mercedes-Benz has undergone an awe-inspiring, ground up restoration completed to better than new standards. Crisp and polished, the sporty 2-seater's restoration quality perfectly matches its stately presence.

At the heart of the 250SL lies a robust fuel-injected 2.5-liter inline-six engine, paired with a smooth shifting 4 speed manual gearbox effortlessly propelling the 250SL through city streets and the open highway alike.

Its sophisticated exterior, bathed in its originally specified code 717 Papyrus White from stem to stern, includes the iconic Pagoda roof, a hallmark feature that not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but also enhances aerodynamics. Navy blue interior finely accented with rich wood inlays and jewelry like gauges. Driver comfort is furthered by cold air conditioning and a modern bluetooth capable stereo.

From coastal highway sprints, to windy mountain frolics, or even a cruise to the country club, top up or top down, the driving experience of a classic 250SL is simply unmatched. Call us today to make it yours.
