This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL is a European-market model that is finished in white over blue MB-Tex and powered by a 2.3-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 14″ steel wheels, a body-color removable hardtop, and an AM/FM radio. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2021, and an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. This W113 SL is now offered at no reserve with service manuals and a clean Oregon title.
The car is said to have been refinished in white under previous ownership and features a body-color removable hardtop, chrome trim, and European-specification bumpers and lighting. The seller notes that the soft top is torn and stuck and is in need of replacement.
White-painted 14″ steel wheels wear color-matched hubcaps and chrome trim rings. 185/75 Toyo 800 Ultra Premium Touring whitewall tires are mounted at all four corners.
The cabin is equipped with front bucket seats and a rear lower cushion trimmed in blue MB-Tex. Details include wood trim, gray square-weave carpeting, a locking glovebox, and an AM/FM radio. The seller notes that the windshield wiper switch is broken and the trunk shows evidence of corrosion repair.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 220-km/h speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and a vertical combination gauge with readouts for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 25k kilometers (∼16k miles), though total mileage is unknown.
The 2.3-liter inline-six was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 159 lb-ft of torque. Compression test results from October 2021 are provided in the gallery, and the seller notes that an oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional images of the underside are available in the gallery below.
