I recently performed a mechanical restoration on this 230sl. It had set in a garage for 24 years without being started.

It looks a very neat and tidy car.
Great to see another back on the road and not parted.

just to second Garry, it's always a great pleasure to see a Pagoda recovered and back to full splendour

Hello Afisk,
I second what Garry and Stan said. Great to see another one of these fabulous automobiles back on the road. I went through a similar "awakening" of my car a few years back. Now it is your turn to enjoy the ride once again:-)
