Kickdown's Take
by Louis KalendruschatThis Pagode is a 280 SL—the most sought-after version—equipped with an automatic transmission befitting its status. Another highlight is the interior, which features rare burgundy leather. This makes it an exceptionally interesting Pagode, further enhanced by its H-license plate and recent service.

Comments of this past auction
Technik: Die „Pagode“ war der erste SL mit umfangreichen Sicherheitsmaßnahmen. Da seine Basis die Bodengruppe der „Heckflosse“ W 111 mit einem 30 cm kürzeren Radstand ist, hat auch der SL eine steife Fahrgastzelle und Knautschzonen, leicht verformbare Bug- und Hecksegmente. Der Innenraum ist wie bei der Limousine entschärft, es gibt keine harten Ecken und Kanten. Sicherheitsgurte waren, wie beim Vorgänger, als Sonderausstattung erhältlich. Das Lenkgetriebe wurde aus dem crashgefährdeten Bereich des Vorderwagens an die Stirnwand gerückt, die Lenksäule ist geknickt und hat Gelenke, die den gefürchteten Lanzeneffekt bei einem Unfall verhindern. 1967 kamen die Sicherheitslenksäule mit Pralltopf im Lenkrad hinzu. Das Fahrwerk mit Kugelumlauflenkung und hinterer Eingelenk-Pendelachse wurde ebenfalls aus der W 111-Limousine übernommen. Das Zweikreis-Bremssystem hatte Scheibenbremsen anfangs nur an der Vorderachse; mit Einführung des 250 SL auch an der Hinterachse. Seine Federung ist straff, aber für einen Sportwagen sehr komfortabel. Gasdruckstoßdämpfer verringern das Nachschwingen beim Ein- und Ausfedern. Der W 113 war der erste SL mit Gürtelreifen. LG Tom
