Facts about the model
With design by the legendary Paul Bracq and underlying technology from the "fintail" model, the result was highly successful for the Pagoda, or W113 as it is known in Mercedes terminology. The engine was based on the regular sedan model, and combined with swing axle rear suspension, they created a sports car that was significantly more athletic than the previous generation SL. This was a modern, fast, and high-class open-top vehicle for two.
During the model's production from 1963 to 1971, several engine sizes were offered. Among them, the 230SL is often regarded as the most agile. The 230SL was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963, and three years later, it was available with an optional five-speed gearbox.
In December of the same year, production of the 250SL began, which is now considered the rarest version of the Pagoda. In 1967, an optional hardtop variant was introduced, featuring two additional seats in the back instead of a soft top. The following year, the 250 was replaced by the 280, which became the most produced variant.
The last Pagoda rolled off the factory floor in 1971, with a total of 48,912 units manufactured. Out of these, a total of 261 new units were sold in Sweden. In the United States, they were sold with fully red taillights and different headlights, as well as air conditioning and a luggage shelf behind the seats instead of two small child seats.
