1968 Mercedes-Benz 230 S W111 (Manuals / 4 Gears) RWD [1959-1968]

Summary

The 1968 Mercedes-Benz 230 S (W111) remains one of the most popular classic limousines because of the balance between added power and mechanical simplicity. Increasing the cylinder capacity to 2.3 liters gave the vehicle greater elasticity at low laps, making it more suitable for modern highways of the time. Although winged design (Fintails) was beginning to be considered obsolete in 1968, the quality of construction was at its zenith, with interior materials that were designed to last decades. The use of Zenith ANGER carburetors requires a specific maintenance, but it is less complex than the SE version injection system, making this model a rational choice for collectors. Passive safety, ample space, and authoritarian presence on the road make the 230 S a worthy representative of Mercedes-Benz's golden age.
