The Mercedes-Benz W110 Series are easily identifiable from their
distinctive tail fins, which represented a departure from their
rounder predecessors. Intended to be the entry-level model for the
range, these robust and reliable vehicles proved popular around the
globe. The second series versions were produced from 1965 to 1968
and introduced revised lighting details and simpler brightwork.
These later cars also feature more reliable five-main-bearing
engines, which accounts for their legendary endurance and
reputation as one of the most dependable classics on the market.
The Motorcar Offered From the final year of
production, this highly original, numbers matching example was
stored indoors for more than 30 years, helping to preserve this
vehicle in remarkable condition. A good running vehicle, recent
work included a new electric fuel pump and ignition switch, as well
as carburettors that were rebuilt at the start of the decade.
Equipped with a factory sunroof, this 230 represents one of the
least expensive paths to classic Mercedes-Benz ownership.
Estimate: $5,000-7,000
