1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL 4-Speed

This 1964 Mercedes-Benz 230SL is finished in metallic blue over tan leather and is powered by a 2. 3-liter inline-six paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a blue convertible top, a removable hardtop, 14â?³ steel wheels with painted hubcaps, a cassette stereo, a rear jump seat, and a heater. The W113 SL was designed by Friedrich Geiger, Béla Barényi, and Paul Bracq and was introduced to the public at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show. Dents, paint cracks, bubbling, and blemishes around the body are shown up close in the gallery. The 14â?³ steel wheels feature polished trim rings and hubcaps with painted centers, and they are mounted with 205/75 Michelin tires. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The cabin houses bucket seats upholstered in tan leather that extends to the door panels. Interior appointments include a rear â??kinderâ? seat, a Sparkomatic cassette stereo, an analog clock, a floor-mounted gear shifter, and a heater. The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 220-km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline as well as gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature.
