Park is at the bottom the person I bought it from turned it off in gear.  Good eye for detail.

I just bought mine today.  It is a 1966 230SL with 56,298 original miles as stated on the title.  There are  a few oil change and service stickers in the door jam that help verify the mileage.  The car is white with 115 trim code navy blue interior MBtext seats.  It came from California and is rust free with what appears to be one repaint.  The paint is show condition right down to the notch near the head light chrome.  I am sure I will have questions as I get to know my car better.  I also have a 61 220 Sb (since 1987)and a 73 280 SE4.5 (since 1997)

Looks like a very original gem.
More detailed pictures of interior, engine bay and under floor would be very very welcome

We found our '67 250sl in Naples Italy in 1981.  So about 27 yrs. 
Since then it has seen the world.  No telling how much $ in just shipping!

Here is one of the engine.  I still have to detail it.  When the weather gets nice I will detail the whole car.  I did wax it the day I got it home and the paint is nearly flawless.  I will take some pictures of the interior and post them soon.

About 4 years and will own it forever.  My 'Pagoda' friend in Hong Kong, Alex, has owned his since 1968.
