two-seat roadster/coup�, introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show,
and produced from 1963 through 1971. It replaced both the 300 SL (W
198) and the 190 SL (W 121 BII). Of the 48,912 W 113 SLs produced,
19,440 were sold in the US. W 113 SL was developed under the
auspices of Mercedes-Benz Technical Director Fritz Nallinger, Chief
Engineer Rudolf Uhlenhaut and Head of Styling Friedrich Geiger. The
lead designers were Paul Bracq and B�la Bar�nyi, who created its
patented, slightly concave hardtop, which inspired the 'Pagoda'
nickname. Production of the 230 SL (1963-1967) commenced in June
1963 and ended on 5 January 1967. Its chassis was based on the W
111 sedan platform, with a reduced wheelbase by 30 cm (11.8 in),
recirculating ball steering (with optional power steering), double
wishbone front suspension and an independent single-joint,
low-pivot swing rear-axle with transverse compensator spring. The
dual-circuit brake system had front disc brakes and power-assisted
rear drum brakes. The 230 SL was offered with a 4-speed manual
transmission, or an optional, very responsive fluid coupled (no
torque converter) 4-speed automatic transmission, which was popular
for US models. From May 1966, the ZF S5-20 5-speed manual
transmission. Please Note The Following **Vehicle Location is at
