Holy smokes, that upholstery is beautiful. I had a hard time finding a leather supplier with the 'right' cognac for my SL, ultimately settling on some 'old timer' (I believe vegetable-tanned) leather supplied through KHM and it has a similarly beautiful grain. Stunning car. GLWTA!
@JobLinkSys Well the evidence is in the giant chunk cut out of the rear... did you just reply to my comment with ChatGPT?
Very rare early soft top with the chrome strip. That's one of the only ones I've ever seen. Usually the strip is lost at some time or another when people redo their soft tops (nails into a piece of wood and I guess that gets torn up over time). Chassis # puts production in middle of June of '64. Interesting use of 108/111/etc. stacked headlights. I have seen that in old photos in Germany but never in the US. I guess that's a 'done thing' over there. I'm noticing some metal removed in the driver's side area below the rear bumper. Was this car fit with dual exhaust at some point in its life?
Congratulations to the winner -- I'll be in touch!
Welcome everyone, I acquired this tool kit alongside my 230SL back in November of '22. The original owner previously had a 190SL that rusted away during Chicago commutes, according to his grandson, but a lot of 190SL-related things remained and conveyed with my car. This tool kit did have a box of spare fuses with it, but it crumbled into dust and splinters, so the fuses are being reused in my Pagoda. Sadly, it didn't come with a tire iron, but those are found easily enough on eBay. Let me know if there are any questions -- thanks.
