@Chatntoo Good morning, thanks for your question. The wheel is not perfectly aligned, but it isn't as stark as the driving video might suggest. The road we used for the driving video is a rural country lane which has a fairly tall crown/camber, so some correcting steering angle is needed to compensate for it. On a more level road, the wheel sits halfway between where you're seeing it and perfectly level.
@evan_davis Thanks for your question. The pinstripe was hand painted on top of the car's clearcoat.
Good afternoon MB Market viewers and bidders! Thank you for the bids so far on this lovely 250SL. I had known about this car for several years before acquiring it. Its previous long-term owner is an interesting guy who owned a high-end upholstery business, specializing in ambulances, helicopters, and boats. He purchased this 250SL around 2000 as a mostly original survivor in need of some refurbishment after a period of storage. He sent the car out for the body and paint, making the choice to go with silver grey rather than its original white. Once the car came back from paint, he set about on the interior, and it's one of the car's best features. He chose the correct style of carpet and leather so that the interior looks stunning but not too 'new.' He ran into some snags getting the car running after replacing all the fuel and ignition components except for the injector pump. Upon finally purchasing the car, we sent the injector pump out to Black Forest LLC for a complete rebuild and restoration. While not cheap, they were very straightforward to work with and were able to provide the missing link for getting this 250SL back on the road. The European spec manual 250SL is really a sweet spot in the Pagoda's lineage. The 250 is much rarer, had a very similar horsepower output as the later, more valuable 280 - just with a bit less torque. Anyone who's driven an automatic Pagoda can attest to how desirable the manual is, and it's made that much better with the uncorrupted Euro-spec bodywork and headlights.
@Flipper Good spot! I'll reach out. Thank you.
@Cain Congratulations! You got an epic car.
The car is selling.
@keithos27 If you have a look at the gallery, you'll notice some corrosion on some brackets and exhaust components underneath, typical of the car's age and mileage. The body, floors, subframes, and jacking points are all in great condition.
@Cain Thanks for your comment. I admit that I missed that note in the previous listing, and if you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have noticed it myself. In the rear, the headliner has indeed come apart from the foam backing. It is extremely hard to tell this without physically touching it. I apologize for any confusion. The imperfection in the hood is still present. All the photos in the listing are our own and represent the car in its current state. You can see it in photos #49 and #50. Someone could attempt to improve it with a wet-sand and polish, but we haven't attempted it. It's hard to see unless you're on top of it.
https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15141060/1993-mercedes-benz-600sec-road-test-review/ Reading through old road tests of these Sacco-era Benz's never gets old. Adjusted for inflation, this car would've been something like $320k new. Everyone comments on the solidity of the car, the litany of buttons and rocker switches, and the sheer size of the thing. Being finished in Crystal Green just adds to the cool factor. Whoever winds up with this gorgeous 600 would no-doubt have a popular entry at any Radwood or similar event!
Good afternoon MB Market! Auction closes at 4:25 p.m. Eastern tomorrow. If anyone has any additional questions or comments, do feel free to drop a comment or leave us a message directly - we'll respond as quickly as possible. If anyone is in need of transport, get in touch and we'll be happy to get you a quote.
@babtainy Good morning, I'm trying to understand exactly what you mean. Are you asking which models don't have wiring harness issues? Maybe the community can help weigh in on this one. Thankfully, this car's wiring harness was replaced by a Mercedes-Benz Service Center not too long ago, which should offer some comforting reassurance for its next owner.
@Stathios Great to see you found it! Please feel free to contact us directly, I'd love to connect. You always have some great cars.
@mikelaca Thanks for your question. Neither the headlamp wipers, nor the passenger power headrest were proven to be working in the previous seller's features demonstration videos, so we can't say with any certainty if they were working then or not. Our own features demonstration video will be uploaded shortly. As you previously pointed out, the car has barely been driven or even sat in since the last time it sold, so I would wager the car is in the exact condition it was nine months ago. It was stored under a cover in a dry, heated garage during its brief stint with its second owner.
@mikelaca Thanks for your comment! You're right about the story, so here you go. First off, the car's most recent owner is doing okay to the best of my knowledge. He's a very nice guy with some fascinating stories, and I enjoyed meeting him. He and I had been in contact prior to his purchase of this car regarding some other cars he wanted to sell. Plans to visit never came to fruition until after he purchased this 600SEC and a 560SL (also off MB Market). The cars were represented accurately in their previous listings - he's just a true car enthusiast, adding to the collection while simultaneously talking about how he needs to shrink it! In the end, we purchased this car, the 560SL, and an S430 he purchased new for his wife in 2003. The other two cars have since been sold.
