LHD 230 SL in the UK. The best there is. £150.000
« on: August 15, 2023, 12:38:46 »
Members who've been here for a while will remember the bare shell restoration we did a few years back. It's the shell used in the photographs that now represent the bodyshell reference photos found on here and indeed all over the internet.
Since we completed the work the car has never been collected, rather it has remained in our storage unit ever since. Moreover, save for the occasional run up and down the road to keep everything sweet, it's never even been driven!
During the work we converted the car to Getrag manual 5 speed transmission.
For anyone wanting to have the best without having to wait and indeed, without having to spend 300K this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
It's the car in my avatar but sadly the model doesn't come with it!

too low. That level of resto.
Is a Brabus made car worth more than 100.000,- € than this?

Agree with Sead, car is worth more when compared to what others are selling for. Very good buy!
