1966 Mercedes SL Class 230 SL Pagoda W113

The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL of the W 113 series made its debut in 1963 as a well-thought-out combination of a sports roadster and a comfortable touring car. It earned the nickname ‘Pagoda’ due to the distinctive curved shape of its removable hardtop, the design of which ensured high rigidity whilst maintaining a low weight. The model also utilised a safety concept featuring a rigid passenger compartment and front and rear crumple zones, based on the principles of the designer Béla Barényi. This example dates from 1966 and is fitted with an M 127 inline six-cylinder engine with a displacement of 2, 306 cm³, featuring Bosch mechanical fuel injection and a manual gearbox. The car was originally supplied to the US market and later imported to Europe. It is roadworthy; the engine runs well, the gearbox shifts smoothly and the braking system is in working order. The red paintwork looks good overall, though it has minor cosmetic imperfections in places. The black canvas roof is damaged in several places; the car also comes with a removable hardtop in a matching colour. Overall, this is a roadworthy car that will require further finishing work and attention to detail. Veteráni na Truc: a group of ordinary people who love cars.
