Available was the 230 SL (1963–1967), the 250 SL (1967) and the 280 SL (1968–1971), with manual gearbox or automatic transmission.
Almost all models were supplied as standard with a soft top, but a hardtop was available as an option. The hardtop had a vaulted shape such as a Chinese pagoda roof, as a result of which the W113 is also popularly called Pagoda. Also available was a 2+2 compartment with hardtop; Instead of the soft top cupboard, there was a folding bench.

The model presented here is an original German car that came to the Netherlands after two years. Then the car went to the United States and there this Mercedes drove for a long time. He also owes his American headlights to this. Then the car was transported back to the Netherlands where it will be again from March 2021. This beautiful car is a manual pagoda. He is in maintenance with Jaap Havik, a well -known classic car company. This Mercedes drives, shifts and controls fantastic. There is also a valuation report, the Manual and the last bill of Jaap Havik. The condition of the body is also very good and there is a hardtop. The interior also looks beautiful. A very nice pagoda, one for the enthusiast!
