HISTORY
Production of the 230 SL 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 was
available as an additional option, which was particularly popular
in Italy. Of the 19,831 230 SLs produced, less than a quarter were
sold in the US. SOURCE: �WIKIPEDIA
