I'm searching for a RH Sun Visor for a 1964 230SL - any condition.
-
Assume the car is LHD? (I don't have one but IIRC the passenger side has a vanity mirror that the driver side does not - though perhaps not in 230s)
Also... they came in (I think) two colours - one a cream/parchment and the other in a slightly more tan colour.
There are reproductions out there... https://www.authenticclassics.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=visor

Hi James, yes LHD and yes one with the mirror.
Can find quite a few pairs of visors but not too many singles - affordable. Maybe blasphemy but having them recovered to match the interior so not bothered about condition.
-
For originality sake, the sun visors did not match the interior upholstery. I believe they matched the hard top (and soft top?) head liner. That is why they only came in one or two colors.
-
I have a 230 with a 280 engine, originality isn’t high on the agenda.
Dare I say MB got it wrong in relation to this particular subject, red interior with light visors just not right imho.

I have a lhd right side sun visor with mirror that i put on my rhd Pagoda so that the mirror is facing down as i have been unable to get the correct rhd visor. Would happily swap for a correct one or even a plain visor thus the passenger has no mirror. No vendor will sell a single visor, with or without mirrors so i have found out after asking several.

The sun visor w113 is identical to the sun visor w114\115 only slightly shorter. During the restoration, I just shortened them.
