Residing with the same owner in Texas for the past 34 years, this particular 230SL is in extremely good condition; very few faults can be found. This series was built using the German principle of Sport Leicht or in English, a lightweight sports car. This W113 series Mercedes-Benz is the second generation of their legendary SL series; along with many visual design changes a vast amount of mechanical improvements were implemented in this generation. Such as multi-port fuel injection, aluminum body panels, double wishbone front suspension, front disc brakes, and an entirely new hardtop. The drivers and passengers doors and compartment were stiffened to better protect the occupants when an impact does occur. Despite being intended as a luxury roadster Mercedes’ engineers built an extremely quick car that out classed many performance oriented sports cars of its’ day. To demonstrate this, Rudolf Uhlenhaut set a lap time at Annemasse Vetraz-Monthoux racetrack of .2 seconds slower than then a V12 Ferrari 250 GT racecar. http://www.facebook.com/stlclassiccars http://www.instagram.com/motoexotica http://www.twitter.com/motoexotica636
