The Appeal

2004 was the final year of Mercedes’ M112-powered SL350, an engine legendary for its durability and reliability. It’s a wise choice for the R230 because it delivers decent performance with real-world economy.

This Brilliant Silver SL350 arrives recently serviced and with a mechanic's check-over. We’re told that it starts, runs and drives. It requires some attention to the electrics, specifically the roof and SRS light, and will require four new tyres. As a low-mileage, late-model 3.7L car, it's a good basis for sorting those issues.

There are some cosmetic points to note in the photos, and the car will require an MOT before it is driven.
