The Mercedes
230 SL followed the Mercedes 190 SL which was built up until 1963. The
timeless, austere design that was first seen in the Mercedes 300 SE
sedan in 1961, was continued in the 230 SL: many see this version as the
most beautiful Mercedes since the 1960s.
The 230 SL is characterized by its refined, lively handling, and by its
very high constructive and technical quality. The car also offers much
space, many comforts and practical conveniences. The open two-person
roadster is also available with a hardtop, which changes the car into a
closed coupe. The Mercedes-Benz 230 SL carried the nickname of Pagode
because of the design of the hardtop windows.
