This W111-generation Mercedes-Benz 230S is a refined and stylish classic luxury sedan, which is reported to be in highly original condition. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.3-litre inline-six, delivering around 88kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission with column shift. This original Australian-market example was first registered in April 1967, and has been with the seller for one year. The odometer indicates 32,767 miles, though this is not warranted. This W111-era ‘Heckflosse’ 230S is finished in the refined shade of Crème White, over a brown vinyl-trimmed interior, featuring a white steering wheel, wood veneer inlays, and chrome trim accents. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels with chrome and body-coloured hubcaps, fitted with Hankook Mileage Plus tyres. Equipment includes a two-spoke steering wheel, a top-tinted windscreen, fold-down front and rear armrests, a VDO analogue clock, Weather King ‘Cyclone’ air conditioning, and a Mercedes-Benz-branded cassette stereo. This example has been fitted with Eurovox front door card speakers. The car comes with a spare wheel, a jack, the Club Permit Logbook, a Mercedes-Benz map of distributors and service stations, all the owner’s manuals with a brown plastic wallet, the stamped service booklet, and spare keys. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The last maintenance was performed in May 2024 at around an indicated 33,000 miles by Mercedes-Benz specialist, The Star Shop, which consisted of a standard service. Technicians at The Star Shop removed and replaced the steering wheel and housing with new steering column bushes, and replaced the front section of the exhaust pipe. Other notable maintenance includes the R&R brake booster being sent away for repairs, wiring to the horns repaired, the gear selector bushes replaced, a new bonnet release handle, the spark plugs changed, an engine oil and filter change, four new exhaust rubbers, two second-hand horns fitted, a new fuel filter, the engine being degreased, air conditioning services and fittings, and a vehicle inspection.

The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
