A fender-mounted antenna completes the exterior details, reflecting the straightforward design approach of the era. A key detail about the Mercedes-Benz 230SL is that it uses Bosch mechanical fuel injection on its 2. 3-liter inline-six, which was relatively advanced for its time and helped provide more precise fuel delivery than carbureted systems commonly used in many competing sports cars of the mid-1960s. This contributed to smoother drivability and more consistent performance across different driving conditions. This Mercedes-Benz 230SL remains a timeless example of the W113 series, known for its blend of refined engineering and open-top touring capability. This 230SL is mechanically sound.
