Mercedes debuted the 230SL (SL: Sehr Leicht, very light) at the Geneva Auto Show in March 1963, to great acclaim. The 230SL used clean, elegant lines, intelligent placement of the wheels in proportion to the rest of the design, and a tall, pagoda removable hardtop that allowed for ease of ingress and egress. A 4-speed manual transmission was a standard, though a new 4-speed automatic transmission was optional, a first for Mercedes sports tourers of this nature. Cabin refinement set the 230SL apart from the competition, with acres of leather, plush, supportive seats, big readable gauges, and a quality of craftsmanship throughout, including the soft top, which disappeared easily and unobtrusively when not in use. The 230SL was a success. This was in some measure due to the carandrsquo;s genuine ability to perform. Top speed was rated at about 125, and handling was described as neutral, with light, balanced steering, even at the limit. And while they were not originally intended as competition cars, the sturdy, reliable 230 made a suitable and quite successful rally machine, including a famous win in the grueling Spa-Sofia-Liege Rally. Ultimately, these pagonda SLs would become regarded as one of the finest cars to come from the Stuttgart firm, with timeless, graceful styling, spirited performance and handling, and build quality and reliability second to NONE.
