Production of the 2.5 liter 250 SL commenced in December 1966 and ceased in January 1968. This model had basically a one-year production run, introduced at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show although in North America many were sold in, and titled as, 1968 model year cars. This model is the rarest of the W113 cars. The main changes were the use of a 2496 cc engine with seven main bearings in place of the 2306 cc with four main bearings of the 230 SL. Also unchanged was the claimed 150 bhp (112 kW; 152 PS) maximum power: the new engine did, however, significantly improve torque, up from 145 lb·ft (197 N·m) to 159 lb·ft (216 N·m). Stopping power was also improved with the addition of rear disc brakes. The 250 SL retained the stiffer suspension and sportier feel of the early SLs but provided significantly improved performance, especially given the engine's wider power band. Like its predecessor, the 250 SL was offered with a four speed automatic transmission, a 4-speed manual transmission, and a new ZF 5-speed manual transmission that remained an option on the 280 SL through 1970.

Our car - it is a restoration project, but in overall good condition. Already landed in Europe, presently in Duesseldorf.
