The Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters. designed by Paul Bracq. were
produced from 1963 through to 1971. They were known as the 'pagoda
roof' SL. All models boast an inline six-cylinder engine with
multi-port fuel injection using a mechanical pump system adapted
from the diesel motors. Rear-wheel drive configuration was
complemented by independent rear suspension. a feature that greatly
improved road handling. Most of these early SL's were sold with
both the removable hard top and a soft top. In 1960. Nallinger
eventually proposed to develop a completely new 220SL design. based
on technology from the W112. This led to the W113 platform. with an
improved fuel-injected 2. 3 litre M127 inline-six engine and the
distinctive 'pagoda' hardtop roof. The 230SL made a remarkable
debut at the prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where
Nallinger introduced it as follows; "It was our aim to create a
very safe and fast sports car with high performance which. despite
its sports characteristics. provides a very high degree of
travelling comfort. "
