Seller's comments about 1964' Mercedes-Benz Sl Class
The Millbrook Sale | Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire
Viewing: Tues 2nd December from 12pm
Auction: Wed 3rd December from 9am
Location: Millbrook Proving Ground, Station Lane, Bedford MK45 2JH
1964 Mercedes-Benz 230 / 250 SL
Original UK right-hand drive example, fitted with a manual gearbox
Estimate
£50, 000 - £60, 000
Registration No: 682 XAF
Chassis No: the details below
MOT: Exempt
Desirable UK-supplied, right-hand drive example fitted with a four-speed manual gearbox
Uprated with a 2496cc 250SL specification engine by a Mercedes-Benz main service agent in 1975 and re-badged to suit
Subject to extensive restoration works during the vendor's ownership by Cotswold Classics
Treated to a thorough engine and injector system overhaul in 2025
Successor to both the exotic race bred 300SL 'Gullwing' Coupe and its humbler 190SL sibling, the W113 series SL proved more comfortable than the former and faster than the latter (a point emphasised by Eugen Bohringer's 1963 Liege-Sofia-Liege rally victory). First of the line, the 230SL was introduced at the March 1963 Geneva Salon. Penned by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent coil-sprung suspension and disc brakes. Powered by a 2308cc SOHC straight-six engine mated to either an automatic or manual transmission, the model was credited with 150bhp and 159lbft of torque. Reputedly capable of 124mph, it was praised by the contemporary motoring press for its performance, roadholding, and refinement. Available in Californian Coupe, Convertible or Coupe Convertible guises, the last of these came with both a soft-top and the famous 'Pagoda' hardtop roof, so called because of its gently scalloped centre section.
