Just over 5and#44;000 examples of the 250 SL were originally produced (¼ of the amount of 280s manufactured)and#44; with only about 1and#44;750 of those imported to the U.S. The 250 retained the stiffer suspension and sportier feel of the early SLsand#44; but provided improved agilityand#44; engine and 4 wheel disc brakes.

Here is a wonderful example of a lovingly preserved 250SL. The exteriors body received a glass-out restoration ten years agoand#44; while the interior remains all original and very well preserved.

The cabin is remarkably original throughoutand#44; while displaying color fade in areasand#44; it impressively shows no signs of tear – attesting the quality of material Mercedes-Benz used and former care.
