[...] The 250SL is the rarest of the W113-bodied cars, having been built only in 1967 and 1968. Its predecessor, the 230SL, was vastly improved upon in this model, while the last of the W113 cars, the 280SL, had a slightly larger engine and improved steering.

It is expected to fetch $30,000 - $50,000." What a steal! Cheaper than a Willy Wonka costume, anyway. [Profiles in History]
