Finished from the factory in Papyrus White (717), the body was repainted under previous ownership in the original color. Exterior features include a removable body-color Pagoda hardtop, black folding soft top, driver-side mirror and chrome-finished bumpers to match the window trim, door handles, and grille. The seller notes touch up paint along the edge of the driver door and faded chrome trim around the rear passenger tail light. Detailed photos of the exterior are provided in the gallery and no rust is present. The inside of the chromed bumpers are believed to remain original due to their chalky white finish.
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. This 230SL also is equipped with power-assisted steering which remains tight with no slop. The car has reportedly undergone previous mechanical refurbishment prior to the seller's acquisition but does not have any accompanying documentation. The engine plaque on the block appears to be original to the car as well as the fire wall insulation. Service performed in October 2022 included the following:

With just over an hour left on the auction, I'll be here to monitor any last minute questions. Thank you for all of the inquiries and interest so far. I'm genuinely sad to see this beautiful car go but am hopeful it ends up with a fellow enthusiast who can enjoy it. Best of luck to all!
