Title: 1966 230SL Engine Compartment
Post by: Harry on January 20, 2017, 01:54:29

I've been meaning to ask - the engine compartment in my 230SL is black.  My recollection is that these, at least on later cars, was the same color as the body.  Is the black incorrect?

Thanks,
Harry

So the engine compartment should indeed be the same color as the body?

Correct. Black USUALLY means someone has tried to hide something........
