Lot #1532 - When the 230SL was introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show, it ushered in a new era in the storied history of Mercedes-Benz. A fresh, modern shape, spirited performance, Grand Touring comfort and cutting edge safety were all rolled into one beautiful package with state of the art features like Fuel Injection, disc brakes and the innovative removable Pagoda top. They are also regarded as the first sports car to combine a stiff passenger cell with front and rear deformation zones, just like on cars built today. The 230 seen here is a handsome example finished in attractive white over blue leather and a navy soft-top. It has 67,779 original miles and shows in very nice condition throughout. Included with the car are the owner's manual, a signed odometer statement, paperwork from when the previous owner purchased the car at the Seattle Mercedes dealer in 1994, extra keys and service history. This SL drives as good as it looks.
