Model history

The Mercedes-Benz W 113, better known as the "Pagoda," appeared in 1963 as the successor to the 190 SL and positioned itself technically and visually between it and the 300 SL. The design, developed under the direction of Paul Bracq, set new standards with smooth surfaces, clean lines, and a functional appearance—a deliberate break with the rounded predecessor models. The characteristic hardtop with its retracted roof – the "pagoda shape" – became the feature that gave the car its name. The main sales market was the USA, where the so-called California Coupé with rear seats and no soft top compartment was also offered. The 230 SL combined sportiness with everyday comfort and ushered in a new SL era at Mercedes-Benz.
