Garry,
I bet you are right!
The car has been making the rounds in Germany for some time time, at least since 2012:

Amazing, above its estimate!
Anyway, I am somewhat happy to see that 230SL cars are also now going up.
RM Sothesby's had five 280SL and I wonder for how much they went. Who has access to the auction results?

Always thought that 230sl’s were undervalued with much nicer interiors and 280SL’s were over valued and a bit dull and plastic in the interior. Time will tell but I do know that my 230sl was half the price of my sold 280sl.  Doesnt figure but I am happy also to see some reality coming into the market recently on the different models.
