1971 Mercedes-Benz W130 280SL "After half a century, the W113 280SL is a work of artistic automobile designer Paul Black in his twenties... !
The 1960s was an era filled with dreams and hopes that led to a dynamic shift toward modernization, so much so that Germany was called the "Second Founding Era."
Unlike present-day Germany, where there are fears of a declining birthrate and an aging population like Japan today, it was a time of vitality, with about 30% of the population being young people in their 20s or younger.
In the 1950s, there were about 500,000 privately owned cars, but in 10 years the number increased by about 26 times (!
), a huge increase to 13 million units.
It was a time when people, especially young people, greatly enjoyed the "richness" that accompanied economic growth, and the modernization of Germany was dynamically promoted.
In the background of that era, Mercedes-Benz, which was aiming for further international competitiveness, valued its excellent craftsmanship and created a car that was thoroughly built to surpass the world in technology without being bound by cost. I will produce...
and···.
This codename W113 is also one of the young people who supported Germany's dynamic progress at the time.
After that, Mr. Paul Black, who has been active not only as an automobile designer but also as a painter, sculptor, and coach builder, has created many automobile icons and is currently at the top of the great masters of the good old days. (Paul Bracq 1933-) What!
It's a work from the 20's...!
The shape of the detachable hardtop roof, which is also the biggest feature of the W113 series, which came to be nicknamed "Pagoda" shortly after its introduction, was born from the idea of Paul Black, and has been used in the architecture of temples and shrines in the East. In order to make the roof look light, the motif is a concave curve called "teri", and it is an Art Nouveau that has blossomed in Europe, unique to Mr. Paul Black, who has a deep knowledge of architectural design. It can be said that it is an expression of oriental taste that originates from the beginning.
"What is the Mercedes-Benz W113 280SL, which is said to be the most beautiful ever...!?
In 1955, Mercedes-Benz paid homage to the legendary 300SL race car and launched a sales plan for the 190SL, equipped with the M127 2.2L in-line 6-cylinder engine.
However, while technical problems delayed the start of production of the 190SL, Mercedes introduced new body-building techniques and in 1960 began development of a completely new SL...
The new roadster, codenamed W113, features an improved M127 in-line 6-cylinder engine, Bosch slanted headlights and a large chrome grille...and a large three-pointed star on the nose panel. is reminiscent of the 300SL roadster of yesteryear, equipped with a distinctive pagoda hardtop roof, named 230SL, and made a spectacular debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1963...
In 1967, the displacement was expanded to 2.5L, the 250SL, and in 1968, it evolved into the 280SL equipped with the 2.8L M130 Bosch injection-type SOHC in-line 6-cylinder engine introduced this time. ....
All models are equipped with an in-line 6-cylinder engine that uses a multi-port Bosch mechanical injection pump.
Aluminum is used for the engine hood, trunk lid, doors, hardtop, etc., to significantly reduce weight, and the wide body has excellent suspension and brakes, and Mercedes' first radial tires are set up, which is unique to SL. It offers agile handling and a richly textured ride...
The total number of production of the W113 series was 48,912 units, of which 23,885 units were the 280SL, the last in the series. About half of these were sold in North America, and in February 1971, the W113, which passed on the traditional SL badge to its successor, the R107.・The 280SL exudes a lady-like aura as "the most beautiful Mercedes-Benz in history...", and is a model that still captures the hearts of enthusiasts around the world...
"I'm going to ask Mr. Horikawa to write the manuscript, so take it easy...!
"It was restored in the United States and imported to Japan... It is an unregistered individual in Japan...
Until 2005, the car was run in the state of Massachusetts in the United States, and the title (in Japan's Japanese vehicle inspection certificate) has a description of "81336 Actual Mileage", clearly indicating that it was actually driven.
The repainted ivory body color expresses the uniqueness of this car with a really nice texture, but there are a few parts that feel like an American finish. There are also parts that need further finishing, such as the lower part, the edge of the mall in Photo 23, and the edge of the glass rim in Photo 21.
According to what I heard, this car underwent further heavy maintenance (engine maintenance, transmission maintenance, air conditioner maintenance, electrical system, drive system, etc., all of which included details) after being imported into Japan, and passed the preliminary inspection. It's coming...
(Preliminary inspection ends at the end of October) As for the state of restoration: The exterior is all painted in its original color, the doors, engine hood, trunk lid, etc. are all in perfect condition, and the standing appearance is also very beautiful. I'm here...
Even if you look around the underside of the car, you can see that all parts are well finished, and there are no leaks of oil or specific parts, and it is in good condition.
The restored interior is particularly wonderful, and it is in very good condition, including the seat repair using MB Tex and the carpet replacement.
The original instrument panel, which is the same color as the body color, is still alive.
The day we visited was extremely hot, but the genuine optional Fridge King cooler worked well, and the air conditioner worked well.
Unfortunately, there are no original Becker radios left, and this one has been replaced with a later CD/FM/AM tuner head...
From the owner..."Horikawa-san will write the manuscript, so take your time and ride it...!"
I am truly grateful to the writer for his kind words...!
I thoroughly enjoyed this W113/280SL, from car washing and cleaning, to driving with a temporary number on it...!
Every corner of the body is carefully touched, and you can see that the texture and luster are good, and of course there are no dents or scratches, and it is in good condition.
There are some finishing touches left on the lower part of the body behind the bumper, the edge of the molding, and the edge of the glass rim, but this is where we can look forward to.
Just the sound of opening and closing makes me feel like I'm going to die (laughs)... when I open the wonderfully solid door... it's like I've slipped back in time 50 years ago... it's in a wonderful state full of textures. A chic brown interior appears.
If you sit in a solid seat that has been carefully restored and look at the interface in front of you, you will see the instrument panel, which has the original beige paint, and the classically arranged instruments. ....
The 3 tones of brown and beige perfectly match the metal parts of the air outlet, which is wonderfully made.
I felt the supreme time in a really tasteful and exquisite space where the scent of the European mid-century remained.
I'm going to start the engine...
An engine that wakes up easily with a short cranking without any "ceremony" that is common in classic cars.
The silky Classic Straight 6 is truly soothing and makes us imagine an elegant run...
The front is the parking lot, which is the reverse pattern.
The 280SL's uniquely delicate and wonderfully designed shifter has been raised to position 4...
Then, this 280SL runs really smoothly without worrying about anything... while blowing cold air out of the cooler of the Fridge King...
It tastes like "really elegant".
That's what I felt...!
Please check the "running video" for this situation...!
https://youtu.be/HA6HhJOQck4 “Postscript by Horikawa, the author…” For the author who loves classic Mercedes, the W113 is truly a “barrel zone”… 71 W113 280SL coverage-writing It made my heart dance...
When I finished the interview memo to write down what I felt, it was still blank (laughs).
Thankfully, I was able to get a chance to touch this wonderful car...and drive it...it felt so different from the road I'm used to driving...I'm really happy with the supreme 280SL. It was time...
"After half a century, the W113 280SL is an elegant beauty full of fresh and cute charm... the work of Paul Black, an artistic automobile designer in his twenties...!
"Honeymoon with a lady named 280SL..." Isn't it a very charming sound?
