Model history

The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL presented in 1963 set new standards in the roadster segment. Technically, it was based on the W 111 saloon, but had a shortened chassis with a double wishbone front axle and an innovative swing axle at the rear.
Propulsion was provided by a 2.3-liter in-line six-cylinder engine, combined with a 4-speed manual gearbox or a special 4-speed automatic transmission. From 1966, a sporty 5-speed gearbox from ZF was also available. By 1967, 19,831 units had been produced, of which only a small number were exported to the USA. Today, the "Pagoda" is one of the most sought-after Mercedes-Benz classics.
