@AugustoSiqueiraI started some time ago working on the leather for the seats and rear bench to be replaced. The car is sold with absolutely everything shown in the photos, including the leather needed to upholster the front seats, the door panels, and the rear bench. The leather is black. If the winning bidder does not wish to keep this color, there is absolutely no problem; it simply comes as a bonus for anyone who would like a black interior.
@AugustoSiqueiraNo, we are dealer from Germany.
@cicada_shellMy English is not perfect, so I use Google Translate to help me phrase my replies clearly — not chatgpt. I’m only sharing what I know for certain: I bought the car several years ago exactly as it is today, then had it reconditioned. I have no information or documentation indicating the car ever had a dual exhaust. During my ownership, it has always been in the correct single-exhaust configuration I can’t speculate beyond that.
@cicada_shellThank you for the knowledgeable observations. You’re absolutely right — this is an early soft top with the original chrome retaining strip, a feature that is rarely seen today and often lost during later soft-top replacements. The chassis number places production in mid-June 1964, which aligns well with the early details present on the car. The stacked 108/111 headlights are a period-correct European detail, commonly seen in Germany but rarely encountered on U.S. delivered cars. Regarding the metal relief below the rear bumper: the car has always been in a single-exhaust configuration, which is correct for the Mercedes-Benz 230SL. There is no documentation or evidence indicating that the car was ever fitted with a dual-exhaust system. The vehicle is currently and correctly equipped with the factory-style single exhaust.
