Current customer rating: (314 votes ) based onThe Mercedes-Benz W113 roadsters. br/>designed by Paul Bracq. were produced from 1963 through to 1971
with their distinctive 'pagoda' hardtop roof giving them their
contemporary nick-name. All models feature an inline six-cylinder
engine with multi-port fuel injection using a mechanical pump
system adapted from the diesel engine. All are rear-wheel drive and
are equipped with independent rear suspension. a feature that
greatly improved road handling. It made its debut at the
prestigious Geneva Motor Show in March 1963 where Technical
Director Fritz 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 high degree
of travelling comfort. " Mercedes-Benz Chief Engineer Rudolf
Uhlenhaut. who was as competent behind the wheel as most racing
drivers. demonstrated the capabilities of the 230SL on a tight
short race track near Montreux in 1963 where he put up a best lap
time of 47. 5 seconds and. incidentally. out-performed Mike Parkes
in his Ferrari 250GT.
A classic car can often be a
costly enterprise to look after so it is always preferable to find
one where someone else has undergone the associated expenses. This
classic example of the Mercedes-Benz 'Pagoda' certainly falls into
this category. La Riche Automobiles. specialists based in the
Channel Islands. have spent over £22. 00 alone with a further
60-plus individual invoices stretching back to its time in
Germany. This righthand drive configured car is presented in
black with a matching black Pagoda top and mushroom M-Tex
interior;
the overall condition is good throughout. The engine
starts promptly and the manual four-speed gearbox operates
cleanly. The mohair hood is in similar condition and rises
easily into position. The period-style modern Becker radio
(compatible with digital media) is still in situ and the rear bench
trim. transmission tunnel and footwells all sport the correct
core-style matting. A well looked-after and good-looking
230SL in an attractive colour combination. What's not to
like?
