This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 230SL was acquired by the owner in 1974, and a 2010 refurbishment included repainting the body, rebuilding the engine, and replacing the carpets.
It is finished in Light Ivory over burgundy leather and is powered by a 2.3-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
Equipment includes a brown convertible top, a body-color removable hardtop, 14″ steel wheels with painted covers, dual side mirrors, and a heater.
This W113 SL is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner in California with an owner’s manual, service records, a car cover, and a North Dakota title.
The W113 SL was designed by Friedrich Geiger, Béla Barényi, and Paul Bracq and was introduced to the public at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show.
This example left the factory finished in Light Ivory (670).
