The 250 SL featured here was produced in 1968, only a few units before the end of production and incorporates all improvements made throughout the series, including the 'safety interior' and single piece wheel covers. In 2008 it was sourced in Colorado and selected for its impeccable matching of sophisticated Dark Maroon over the interior's beautiful interplay of shades of brown and beige. Once acquired it was subject to a no-expense spared set of repairs that entailed a total overhaul of the engine, a rebuilt of the front end as well as a restoration of the interior with maximum preservation of the original trim. It is currently offered fully serviced and in impeccable mechanical condition.
