This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250SL is a European example that started life in Germany and came to the United States in 1980. The car was purchased by the most recent owner in the early 2000's who put the car through refurbishment including the interior, paint, new soft top, and fuel & ignition components. Finished in Silver Grey Metallic (180) over Blue Leather upholstery, power is provided by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a paint-matched removable Pagoda hardtop, blue soft top, 14″ steel wheels, painted hubcaps, a Blaupunkt radio, and an analog clock. Since the selling dealer's acquisition of the car in late 2023, the injection pump has been fully rebuilt by Black Forest LLC with accompanying receipts and the car also received new spark plugs, and fuel pump. This W113 now shows 69,730 km (43k miles) TMU and is being offered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with import paperwork, restoration records, early German service documents, a tool kit, owner’s manual, and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The car originally came from the factory in white and is now finished in Silver Grey Metallic (180) after undergoing a full professional repaint under previous ownership during restoration. Exterior features include a removable body-color Pagoda hardtop, blue convertible soft top, left-side mirror and chrome-finished bumpers to match the window trim, door handles, and grille. The seller notes minor imperfections including a touch up spot on the passenger corner front bumper, and two paint defects along the edge of the hood. Detailed photos of the exterior are provided in the gallery.

Body-color 14” steel wheels feature matching hubcaps with chrome beauty rings and are mounted with white-stripe Phoenix tires measuring 185/R14/90H all around. A full-size spare is found in the trunk along with the original tool roll and first-aid kit.

The cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Blue Leather with perforated inserts and a matching dashboard top, door panels, horn pad, and grey carpets. The prior owner reportedly owned a high-end upholstery shop and did the interior restoration himself. Chrome and painted trim adorns the front of the dashboard along with finished wood along the top. Amenities include a VDO analog clock, a Blaupunkt head, a locking glove box, and wooden center storage tray. A fire extinguisher is located behind the driver seat.

A black rimmed two-spoke steering wheel with a chrome horn ring and blue horn pad frames VDO instrumentation including a 7k-rpm tachometer, 220-kph speedometer, and a centered combination gauge. The seller notes the fuel gauge is inoperative. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 69,730 km (43k miles), and the car is advertised as true mileage unknown.

The 2.5-liter M129 inline-six features Bosch mechanical fuel injection. Under prior ownership the car received a rebuild or replacement of the fuel and ignition components with the exception of the fuel injection pump. Earlier this year, the selling dealer installed new spark plugs, fuel pump, and had the injection pump rebuilt by Black Forest LLC with an accompanying receipt and pictures documenting the work. The car is also accompanied with German service records prior to it's import in 1980, and receipts for the prior restoration.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. Additional underbody images are provided in the gallery.

This W113 now shows 69,730 km (43k miles) on the odometer and is being offered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania with import paperwork, restoration records, recent service receipts, early German service documents, a tool kit, owner’s manual, and a clean Pennsylvania title.

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 are consistently on the rise today. The classic body lines are timeless and these cars have aged wonderfully. This 250SL is the definition of handsome thanks to it's gorgeous color combination. The blue leather interior and matching blue soft top are the perfect compliment to the silver metallic finish. As a true Euro-spec import (still with the original gauge cluster) paired with the 2.5L M129 and 4-speed manual transmission, this Pagoda is one of the most ideal and desirable iterations ever produced. If there was ever a car to purchase today without worry of depreciation, this is certainly it.
