Scanned this from my MB Enthusiast magazines. Great classic car and IMO one of the best-looking SL's ever. The article is in English too. 
SL-Class (W113) "Pagoda" MB Enthusiast: Driving a 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL (Pagoda)
- Thread starter cawimmer430
- Start date
Replacing both the 300 SL and 190 SL, the Mercedes-Benz 230 SL was introduced in 1963 with a distinctive concave roofline that earned the nickname "pagoda top". Produced from 1963 to 1971.

Some of the newer ones will be quite appealing in the future. It just takes time. The CLS or current SLK will be classics for sure, I feel.
However, back in the old days, MB could sell every car they made because there was no competition, literally. Nowadays, you have a lot of serious competition that offers superior cars for less money or with better selling points.
