The heart of Mechatronik's M-SL conversions is the Mercedes-Benz M113 V8 engine, either as a 4.3-litre (279bhp) or 5.0-litre (320bhp). These powerful M113 V8 engines were introduced by Mercedes-Benz in September 1997 and continuously developed over the years. They were used in 34 Mercedes models of various series until 2007 and were known for their outstanding reliability and impressive performance. Moreover, this V8 is even lighter than the original engines. In the M-SL, this means that the weight is distributed more evenly, which has a positive effect on the handling.
Engines are carefully selected and checked for their suitability of the conversion; only if they meet Mechatronik's stringent quality requirements they are approved for a complete overhaul. Only after the two-day testing procedure has been completed the quality control department will give its final approval for the engine to be installed. The transmission used is the Mercedes-Benz five-speed automatic (NAG1), which must meet the same quality requirements before installation. The completed cars are badged 'M-SL' by Mechatronik.
In the case of this 230 SL Pagoda (the donor car), it received a full restoration to the highest concours standards as well as all of Mechatronik's upgrades to the engine, transmission and running gear. Fitted with the optional and desirable 5.0-litre (320bhp) AMG engine, it is fitted with a modern five-speed automatic transmission, ABS & ASR, powerful brakes and of course unique comfort features like air conditioning, electric power windows, heated seats, sound & navigation system. Moreover this example comes complete with a desirable hardtop. This M-SL is finished in a lovely midnight blue metallic shade over a red leather interior.
Very well specified though still extremely analogue, the car is presented in 'as new' condition having covered only 140 shakedown kilometres since the restoration's completion. Needless to say, this veritable 'wolf in sheep's clothing' is immense fun to drive. Offered with German registration documents and TÜV.
