Model history
The Mercedes-Benz W113, better known as the "Pagoda", was built from 1963 to 1971 and is still considered a design icon among roadsters today. The W113 is characterized by its concave hardtop, which earned it its nickname. As the stylish successor to the 190 SL, the W113 combined sporty driving characteristics with comfortable everyday usability. Early models from the 1960s in particular enjoy great popularity among collectors and are considered to be particularly stable in value.
