THE 2.5 LITER INLINE 6 CYLINDER ENGINE IS STRONG AND POWERFUL AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTS PROPERLY THROUGH THE GEARS. THE STEERING IS TIGHT AND PRECISE AND THE BRAKES FEEL JUST GREAT. THE GAUGES ARE FUNCTIONING AND THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS WORKING AS IT SHOULD AS WELL. THIS REALLY HAPPENS TO BE A VERY NICE 250SL TO DRIVE.
THE INTERIOR IS REALLY NICE. IN 2014, THE SEAT BOTTOM PADS WERE REPLACED AND THE SEATS WERE RE-TRIMMED IN THE PRESENT BLE LEATHER. A BECKER RADIO IS PRESENT AND WORKING AND THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL AUXILIARY INPUT AS WELL. THE EUROPEAN REAR KINDER SEAT IS A NICE INTERIOR ADDITION AS WELL.
THE EXTERIOR IS WHAT REALLY SETS THIS PARTICULAR 1968 250SL APART FROM THE REST. THE WHITE PAINT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION (SEE PICTURES) WITH NO MAJOR SCRATCHES OR DINGS ANYWHERE AT ALL. THE CHROME AND BRIGHTWORK LOOK GREAT ALTHOUGH THERE IS A BIT OF OVERSPRAY TO BE NOTED. THE BLUE CONVERTIBLE TOP WAS INTALLED IN 2014 AND THE CAR WAS UNDERCOATED IN 2014 AS WELL. THE WHEELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (SEE PICTURES, WERE PAINTED TO MATCH THE INTERIOR AND TOP) AND EVEN THE TIRES ARE GREAT.
THE 1968 MERCEDES-BENZ 250SL "PAGODA BODY" REALLY IS THE ULTIMATE VINTAGE COLLECTABLE CAR.

I HAVE OWNED A LOT OF DRIVER QUALITY OLDER SL'S, BUT THIS ONE HAPPENS TO LOOK AND DRIVE AS NICE AS ANY. THERE ARE A FEW "APOLOGIES" TO THIS 250SL THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION. THE HARDTOP HAS GONE MISSING AND IS NOT INCLUDED WITH THE CAR, THERE IS A BIT OF SURFACE CORROSION UNDER THE RUBBER MAT IN THE TRUNK AREA (HAPPENS TO ALMOST ALL OF THEM) AND THERE IS A BIT OF OVERSPRAY IN THE DOOR JAMBS HERE AND THERE.
