Just over 5,000 examples of the 250 SL were originally produced (�
of the amount of 280's manufactured), with only about 1,750 of
those imported to the U.S. The 250 retained the stiffer suspension
and sportier feel of the early SLs, but provided improved agility,
engine and 4 wheel disc brakes.
Here is a wonderful example of a lovingly preserved 250SL. The
exterior's body received a glass-out restoration ten years ago,
while the interior remains all original and very well preserved.
Fender notches and spot welds remain visible, along with original
decals, plaques, tags and all body number stamps. It's believed the
hardtop remains unrestored. The cabin is remarkably original
throughout, while displaying color fade in areas, it impressively
shows no signs of tear - attesting the quality of material
Mercedes-Benz used and former care. Likewise, the undercarriage and
trunk pans are very solid with original seams and sheet metal. The
Pagoda runs and drives great, with its last major service performed
just over a year ago and engine compression averaging 166psi per
cylinder. Importantly, 5158 is complete with books, tools, jack,
wheel chalk and spare. Now Available for Worldwide purchase and
delivery.
