Following the successful, earlier SL models Mercedes launched a whole new range of sports/SL models in the 1960's, starting with the 230SL in 1963. The 1966 250SL had a beautifully proportioned sports body which had two comfortable seats (a third, sideways facing seat was a popular SL option) and could be fitted with a distinctive (Pagoda Roof) hardtop.
The 250SL used a 2496cc, six-cylinder engine which had a new seven bearing crankshaft. The engine featured fuel injection and could even be ordered with either an optional five speed manual or automatic transmission.
This automobile is one of only 5,196 produced and was sold new in Cincinnati, OH. | |
