The W113 SL-series one of the most sought after Mercedes Benz convertibles for good reason. The beautiful classic design conforms fully to the image of a classic from the sixties. The first to be introduced, the 230 SL (1963-1967) was fitted with a 2306 cc six-cylinder inline engine with an output of 150 HP and a top speed of 200 km/h. The automobile press wrote at the time the car drove as if on rails. Unlike the previous 190SL models, the W113 had a powerful six-cylinder engine which would suit current traffic very well. A 230SL drives comfortable and smooth, it has the reliability Mercedes is known for. If properly maintained, of course. The interior is spacious and offers larger passengers sufficient leg room. This 230SL can justifiably be called a great car. Unlike many SLs on the market, this is an original European-delivered one.This beautiful 230 SL was delivered new in Germany in 1965 and imported to The Netherlands in 1997. From then it remained with one Dutch owner.
