SL W113

Description

The Mercedes-Benz W113, commonly known as the "Pagoda," refers to a line of luxury sports cars produced by Mercedes-Benz from 1963 to 1971. The most famous model within the W113 series is the Mercedes-Benz 230SL, 250SL, and 280SL, often referred to as the Pagoda SL or W113 SL.

Stylistically, the W113 SL, especially the 230SL, was distinguished by its iconic hardtop design, which had a unique concave roof shape resembling a pagoda. The removable hardtop contributed to its nickname "Pagoda," and when the hardtop was detached, the car transformed into a sleek and stylish convertible roadster.

Under the hood, the W113 SL initially debuted with the 2.3-liter inline-six engine in the 230SL model. Later iterations included the 2.5-liter inline-six engine in the 250SL and the 2.8-liter inline-six engine in the 280SL. These engines were known for their smoothness and adequate power, delivering a balanced driving experience.

The interior of the W113 SL was characterized by its luxurious yet sporty design. It featured high-quality materials, comfortable seating, and a sophisticated dashboard with an array of gauges and controls. The attention to detail and craftsmanship inside the cabin reflected the car's premium status.

The W113 SL was also notable for its advanced engineering, including innovative safety features for its time, such as a rigid passenger cell and crumple zones designed to enhance occupant protection in case of an accident.

The Pagoda SL remains highly revered among enthusiasts and collectors for its timeless design, classic styling, and technological advancements. Its combination of elegant aesthetics, driving performance, and advanced features has secured its place as an iconic and desirable classic car in Mercedes-Benz's history.

Pricing

At present, our inability to furnish pricing online stems from the dynamic nature of global economics, which has led to substantial fluctuations in the costs of parts and materials on a day-to-day basis. The intricate interplay of market forces, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical factors has rendered pricing incredibly volatile, making it challenging to provide accurate and up-to-date figures in real-time.

As we remain committed to offering fair and transparent pricing to our customers, we find it prudent to ensure that any pricing information reflects the current market reality, hence our decision to refrain from online pricing until we can reliably provide figures that align with the ongoing fluctuations in the global economy.
