1968 Mercedes-Benz Stock No. 2513

250SL

CPR Classic is delighted to offer this lovely 1968 Mercedes Benz 250SL finished in Burgundy over a Parchment interior.

This gorgeous 250SL is a nicely restored example that received extensive restoration work from 2013-2015. The car lived in Los Angeles with a doctor who purchased the car and then had a major mechanical overhaul performed.

A complete engine overhaul on the matching numbers engine commenced, which included OEM Mercedes parts used wherever possible, and the highest quality refurbished parts otherwise. The engine overhaul included complete machine work, new pistons and rings, new timing chain and guides, new rocker arms, new valve guides, all new coolant lines, all new gaskets, a serviced Bosch fuel pump, new intermediate gears, new oil pump, water pump, and complete new thermostat housing. A new brake booster and master cylinder were also installed. Cosmetically, all appropriate engine bay parts were powder-coated. All plating was finished in correct gold. A correct engine pad was also installed.

From 2014 - 2015, the car was prepared and serviced by Motoring Investments. Over $15,000 was spent during several visits to Motoring Investments, which included the installation of a completely new air conditioning system, some interior work, and several mechanical services. A minor issue with the air conditioning was addressed, and the fuel injection system was tuned on its last visit to Motoring Investments in July of 2015.

This stunning Mercedes Benz SL has only traveled several thousand miles since all of the abovementioned work was performed. The car drives wonderfully with smooth shifts, effortless steering, and a very tight and sorted ride. Cosmetically the car is superb throughout. The paint, brightwork, and interior are all show quality.
