The WD113 series was first produced in 1963 to super-seed the slow 190 SL and expensive 300 SL range. Six cylinder fuel injected with an aluminium bonnet, boot and doors to save weight the car performed very well combined with a short and wide chassis gave the car excellent handling capabilities. A success for Mercedes-Benz with almost 50,000 230, 250 and 280 SL models made. This 280 SL was recently imported from the dry state of California and due to its condition was obviously a well maintained and looked after motorcar.
