This 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL is finished in White over Red MB-Tex and powered by a 2.3-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a folding black soft top, 14″ steel wheels, painted hubcaps, a full-size spare, and an analog clock. The car was acquired by the selling dealer this year and recent service includes new spark plugs, points, hoses, fuel pump, and fuel tank draining.

This W113 now shows just under 51k miles on the odometer and is being offered at No Reserve in New York with the original owner’s manual, partial service records, new interior carpets, and a clean New York title.

Finished from the factory in Black, the body was repainted under previous ownership to White. Exterior features include a folding black convertible soft top, left-side mirror and chrome-finished bumpers to match the window trim, door handles, and grille. Accompanying service records show the car underwent rust repair in 1994. The car does not come with a hardtop. The seller states there is no rust or bubbling on the exterior panels and detailed photos of the exterior are provided in the gallery.

14” steel wheels feature paint-matched hubcaps with chrome beauty rings and are mounted with GoodYear Vivs 2 tires measuring 195/70 all around. The seller notes a bend on the front driver-side wheel which does not effect drivability. A full-size spare is found in the trunk.

The cabin is upholstered in Red MB-Tex with perforated seat inserts and a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Black painted trim adorns the front of the dashboard along with natural wood along the top which does show some age. Amenities include a VDO analog clock, an original radio, a locking glove box, and manual rollup windows. The interior carpet shows wear and the car will come with a complete set of new red interior carpets pictured in the gallery.

An ivory two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring frames VDO instrumentation including a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, a 140-mph speedometer, and a centered combination gauge. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 51k miles. The seller notes the fuel gauge is currently inoperative.

The 2.3-liter M127 inline-six features Bosch mechanical fuel injection and was factory rated at 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller reports that the car has previously undergone an engine rebuild in 1993 according to the accompanying service records. Service in preparation for the sale includes recent service includes new spark plugs, points, hoses, fuel pump, and fuel tank draining.

The MB Market Insights

The W113 truly embodies what a Mercedes SL is supposed to be. Glamorous and luxurious, it cost nearly twice as much as a 4.2 E-Type when new and values today prove it to be a worthy investment. The classic body lines are timeless and these cars have aged wonderfully. This 230SL presents nicely and has been recently serviced to ensure proper running condition for the next owner. Documented service history shows an engine rebuild in 1993 and then white over red color combination is classic. The car has served as a loyal weekend cruiser and is now ready for another fortunate owner to experience the joy of Pagoda ownership. If there was ever a car to purchase today without worry of depreciation, this is certainly it. Offered with No Reserve, you don't want to miss the opportunity to get behind the wheel of this 230SL.
