Mercedes-Benz, The SL story, W113 Pagoda SL with buyer's guide and chassis number/data card explanation: From the 230SL, 250SL and 280SL to the race car and coach-built versions, updated Aug. 2021

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.
