This stunning 250SL was the recipient of a recent and remarkable restoration. Undertaken by a highly regarded restoration shop in Washington State this car received a rotisserie nut-and-bolt restoration. Refinished in its original and stunning color of Mercedes Nissan Blue and fitted with the correct and appropriate interior this car now looks better than the day it rolled off the assembly line. It features the desirable and extremely rare 1 of 112 produced and true 5-speed manual transmission, numbers matching engine,and the Mercedes Kardex.The stack of books and records, and its original color-matching soft top and hardtop spare tire, and a tool roll.
Upon close inspection it is apparent that only the finest parts and materials were used during the restoration and this 250SL appears ready for concourse displays or fair-weather drives and tours. The high build-quality of these fine Mercedes-Benz automobiles combined with the wonderful support from the factory's own Mercedes-Benz Classic Centers around the world make ownership enjoyable and hassle free. The 250SL was one of the first of a series of important sports-tourers for Mercedes-Benz from its 300SL lineage to its groundbreaking styling; the 250SL is a tasteful and intelligent car with proper heritage. Given this car's recent restoration and unique color, finding a comparable example will be forbidding.
