The wheel is not perfectly aligned, but it isn't as stark as the driving video might suggest. The road we used for the driving video is a rural country lane which has a fairly tall crown/camber, so some correcting steering angle is needed to compensate for it. On a more level road, the wheel sits halfway between where you're seeing it and perfectly level.

Perhaps it's just the camera angle?August 15th, 2024 at 10:59pm EST$20,000 bid placed by @ClassicdriverAugust 15th, 2024 at 5:20pm EST$10,000 bid placed by @bids488August 15th, 2024 at 1:55pm ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 0@evan_davis Thanks for your question. The pinstripe was hand painted on top of the car's clearcoat. August 15th, 2024 at 1:19pm ESTevan_davis (0) 0Hello, Is the pin-striping a decal? Paint over top of the clear coat? or is it under the clear and impossible to remove? Thanks, EvanAugust 14th, 2024 at 10:11pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0@Flipper Done! Thanks for catching that!August 14th, 2024 at 1:57pm EST$3,500 bid placed by @leodrozdoffAugust 14th, 2024 at 1:40pm ESTForzaCarCompany (13) Seller 0Good afternoon MB Market viewers and bidders! Thank you for the bids so far on this lovely 250SL. I had known about this car for several years before acquiring it. Its previous long-term owner is an interesting guy who owned a high-end upholstery business, specializing in ambulances, helicopters, and boats. He purchased this 250SL around 2000 as a mostly original survivor in need of some refurbishment after a period of storage. He sent the car out for the body and paint, making the choice to go with silver grey rather than its original white. Once the car came back from paint, he set about on the interior, and it's one of the car's best features. He chose the correct style of carpet and leather so that the interior looks stunning but not too 'new.' He ran into some snags getting the car running after replacing all the fuel and ignition components except for the injector pump. Upon finally purchasing the car, we sent the injector pump out to Black Forest LLC for a complete rebuild and restoration. While not cheap, they were very straightforward to work with and were able to provide the missing link for getting this 250SL back on the road. The European spec manual 250SL is really a sweet spot in the Pagoda's lineage. The 250 is much rarer, had a very similar horsepower output as the later, more valuable 280 - just with a bit less torque. Anyone who's driven an automatic Pagoda can attest to how desirable the manual is, and it's made that much better with the uncorrupted Euro-spec bodywork and headlights.

Thank you.August 14th, 2024 at 11:56am ESTFlipper (0) 0Need to correct "Quick Facts." It's a manual transmission (not 4-speed manual and automatic).
