Ainsi que nous le confirme son carnet d'entretien, cette 230 SL fut livrée neuve le 19 juillet 1966 par Royal Elysées à Paris. Ce dernier témoigne d'un entretien régulier dans le réseau jusqu'en 1979, puis elle est achetée par un dentiste de Chambéry en 1980 qui a pris soin de conserver sa facture d'achat. C'est auprès de ce dernier que l'actuel propriétaire en a fait l'acquisition en 2010 afin de l'engager dans des épreuves de régularité. En bon état général, la voiture fut soigneusement préparée, avec réfection complète du moteur dans sa configuration d'origine, avec montage de pistons forgés.

L'ensemble des trains roulants furent refaits (bagues, rotules et silentblocs) et des ressorts de suspension plus courts furent adaptés avec les nouveaux amortisseurs. Un arceau six points boulonné et une barre antirapprochement furent montés afin de rigidifier l'ensemble. Les pare-chocs d'origine furet remplacés par des tubes cintrés et une paire de longue portées installée. A bord, l'ambiance rallye est de mise, avec des sièges baquets, des harnais, un lecteur de cartes, une console centrale recevant deux manomètres de température et de pression d'huile, dans l'esprit des versions qui couraient à l'époque.

Le lecteur de cartes et le chronomètre fixé à la trappe de boîte à gant terminent de vous plonger dans l'ambiance des rallyes des années 60. L'ensemble de ces modifications est réversible, la décoration amovible, et les pare-chocs, sièges et enjoliveurs d'origine seront fournis avec la voiture. Ainsi préparée, cette 230 SL a pris part au Tour Auto en 2014 et 2019, terminant les deux éditions grâce à une fiabilité sans reproche. L'outil idéal pour courir de façon originale en régularité!

French title - Original French car - Matching numbers, meticulously prepared - Entered twice in the Tour Auto As its service book confirms, this 230 SL was delivered new on 19 July 1966 by Royal Elysées in Paris. Its records show that it was regularly maintained in the dealer network until 1979; it was then bought in 1980 by a dentist from Chambéry, who carefully kept its sales invoice. Its current owner bought the car from him in 2010 in order to take part in regularity events. In good overall condition, the Mercedes was meticulously prepared: the engine was completely rebuilt to its original specification and forged pistons fitted.

All the running gear (bushes, ball joints and shock mounts) was rebuilt, while shorter springs and new shock absorbers were fitted. A six-point bolted roll cage and a strut brace were installed, in order to strengthen the whole car. The original bumpers were replaced by metal bars and a pair of long-range driving lamps fitted. Inside, rallying is the order of the day, with bucket seats, racing harnesses, a map-reading light and a central console with oil pressure and temperature gauges, in the spirit of the cars which raced in period. The map-reading light and stopwatch mounted on the glove box lid are the final touches taking you back to the atmosphere of rallying in the 1960s.

All these modifications can be reversed and the decals removed; the original bumpers, seats and wheel trims will be supplied. Prepared to this spec, the 230 SL took part in the Tour Auto in 2014 and 2019, finishing both times thanks to its faultless reliability. The ideal choice for an original entry in regularity events!
