The Mercedes-Benz two-passenger open roadsters have become one of the world's most desirable and popular cars. With production numbers for the 250SL being listed as only 5,196 units made from late 1966 thru early 1968, these are among the most uncommon of the series of the model 230 thru 280SL “Pagoda” cars produced.

This good-looking example is presented in a rich maroon metallic tone with cream leather interior and a black convertible top. It also includes the removable hardtop, while the black Haartz cloth top is reported to be like-new. Showing only 12,065 miles on the odometer with an exempt title, it features a nice dash pad, CD player, very clear gauges and an overall tidy interior. The body is in overall great shape, being very straight and exhibiting good panel fit. The chrome is also said to be good and the trim is free of scratches or pitting. The engine bay is not highly-detailed, but certainly passes for good driver-quality status. The Nardi steering wheel is an aftermarket piece of quality, and the Mercedes-Benz is fitted with whitewall radial tires. The original AM/FM radio and tool roll are included in the sale of this fine German masterwork.
