The Mercedes W113 series was a two-seat roadster/coupé manufactured in three different models from 1963 to 1971 replacing the Mercedes 190SL and the 300SL classes. With 48,913 produced during the period, the W 113 class combined safety with a higher-speed range and better steering. The car earned the “Pagoda” nickname due to its concave, removable hardtop. The 230SL, 250SL, and 280SL are popular among car enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and reliability of the limited series. The W113 series was replaced by the R107-C107 series in 1971.
