How did I improve my knowledge on the Mercedes Pagoda W113 SL? I wrote this book. For you, it will be easier, you just need to read it. Updated in April 2018, this 220-page guide walks you through the W113's development and history of each model, explains chassis number and data card and comes with a comprehensive buyer's guide. Superb recent non-Daimler AG color photos highlight many features of the SL W113, this includes the suspension. And these are some of the topics covered: * Development of the W113 * Technical aspects * The 230SL * The 250SL * The 280SL * Racing history * Coachbuilders * A unique 280SL * How was the SL seen in the 1960s * Chassis number and data card explained * W113 buyer's guide * Paint and interior options * Technical specifications with power & torque curves and production history of each model
A separate chapter is devoted to Karl Wilfert, whom most people will not know today. He ran for two decades the Daimler-Benz styling department, which was responsible for the design of automobile icons such as the W113. Â P.S. Depending on which device you preview this e-book, some of the photos can look distorted. This will not be the case with the actual e-book, once it is downloaded.
