The Paul Bracq-designed Mercedes-Benz 113 series succeeded both the 190SL and the 300SL, nd made its public debut at the 1963 Geneva Auto Show. The first model, he 230SL, as a comfortable, ell-equipped and compact two-seat sports touring machine that provided better performance than the 190SL. Instantly recognizable by virtue of their unique and strong detachable hardtop design, he cars were colloquially known as “pagodas”. The well-balanced chassis was designed by Rudi Uhlenhaut and based on a solid unit-body platform. Initially, agazine road testers bemoaned the relatively soft spring rates and 150 horsepower rating of the 230SL, ut became believers when Uhlenhaut himself drove a 230SL to lap times that were only 0.2 seconds slower than those of a Ferrari 250GT! Furthermore, 230SL won the prestigious Spa-Sofia-Liège rally in 1963. A very successful design, he 113 series remained in production for nine years with nearly 49,000 examples built, nd it continues to be a favorite among today’s collectors. In true Mercedes-Benz fashion, he 113 series cockpit is comfortable, ell-appointed and weather proof, nd the car’s construction and attention to detail is consistent with renowned Mercedes-Benz standards. It harnesses a 180 bhp, 778 cc single overhead camshaft inline six-cylinder engine, osch fuel injection, utomatic transmission, ndependent front suspension with coil springs and anti-roll bar, ear suspension by single low-pivot swing axles with trailing arms and coil springs, our-wheel vacuum-assisted hydraulic disc brakes.
This example is finished in stunning Light Ivory with an impeccably-kept original black MB-Tex interior and matching convertible top. It has been driven just 17,300 miles from new and it shows! This US version is fitted with all available options, ncluding both hard top and soft top, actory air conditioning, ower steering, ower brakes, ecker AM/FM radio, s well as its original books and tools. This is an incredible once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire what we believe to be one of the very best 280SL’s on the market today. We are proud to offer this Mercedes to the most sophisticated collector, nvestor or enthusiast who appreciate low miles and superior condition.
