nickg112 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Can anyone tell me what year, make and model Mercedes this steering wheel if for?It looks like a 1964-1966 230SL but not sure if it is for additional models or if it is a Mercedes for sure.

MarrsCars Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Absolutely Mercedes. There were three similar, the full round chrome horn ring usually on an ivory wheel (like I have), then a chrome ring bent backwards at the top and finally a satin chrome horn ring (anti-glare) version that was more flat at top rather then bent back. That looks satin and flat on top, can you confirm? The W113 and W111/112 coupes used this style so there are a few options. Is there a part number starting with 113, 111, etc.?If the back is intact there will either be a relatively flat section or a bulky "crash absorbing" addition that was fitted to later cars. I am enjoying the topics you post, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickg112 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Thank you for your help. I have added some additional photos. I do not see any part numbers on the wheel. I hope this helps identify year and make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrsCars Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 You've exhausted my specific knowledge on this but it could be on anything from a W113 to a W111/112 but not the very early cars and maybe not the very late cars, but moving towards mid-late opposed to mid-early because of the satin chrome (appears that way to me anyway) and that it seems to lack the shock pad on the back. Here's an example of one we know is correct being offered by the Classic Center, it is like yours but has a chrome ring, and states '65-'67 in the listing and covers models 230S, 250S/SE, 250SL, 300SE which is everything from sedan to coupe to roadster. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-Classic-Black-Steering-Wheel-230S-250S-SE-250SL-300SE-1965-1967-/271351169615?vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickg112 Posted December 21, 2013 Author Share Posted December 21, 2013 Thank you. I really appreciate it. I had no idea what it was. I will be listing it on eBay. I do not have a Mercedes from the 60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarrsCars Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Thank you. I really appreciate it. I had no idea what it was. I will be listing it on eBay. I do not have a Mercedes from the 60s.I do also see that the Grand 600 came with a similar wheel, if this is for a 600 the value would be slightly higher if it wasn't shared with other models. Again, I'm not sure how you can confirm without a part number but maybe Classic Center could help if you sent a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
