Lot details Registration No: SYH771F Chassis No: 11304220017898 Mot Expiry: April 2014
The second generation SL began with the 230 of 1963. Designed by Paul Bracq, its wonderfully crisp styling clothed a monocoque chassis equipped with all-round independent suspension, power assisted disc/drum brakes, recirculating ball steering, and a 2306 cc straight-six engine of 150bhp and 145 lb ft of torque mated to either four-speed manual or automatic transmission. Of the 48,912 W113 Series cars made between 1963 and 1971, 19,831 were 230SLs. 'SYH 771F' sports Green bodywork complemented by a Silver factory supplied hardtop and Tan hide interior. It is a smartly-presented righthand drive manual transmission example that has been in the vendor's care for the past seven years. During that period it has benefited from an overhauled gearbox, retrimmed interior and rechromed brightwork. The vendor currently considers the bodywork, paintwork and engine to all be in 'good' order and is offering this fine-looking Pagoda-topped Mercedes complete with a full service history, including old tax discs.
