The very first 230SL engine. Installed in the earliest known Pagoda in existence, a pre W113 series example with an accounting code for a chassis number and a special Mercedes-Benz that we will soon be embarking on restoring. We rarely step outside of 300SL`s for full on restoration work, but this one got our attention and will receive the very best of our restorative acumen.
