APPEAL

The Mercedes SL320 has great looks and, with that wonderful removable hardtop roof, you can turn a luxury coupe into a luxury convertible very quickly. Impressive performance and Mercedes build quality come as standard, which helps to ensure the SL320’s place amongst modern day classic cars.

Powered by a 3.2 litre straight-six engine with 230bhp and a five-speed automatic transmission, there is plenty of performance available if required but these cars are at their best when enjoying comfort of the Mercedes and its excellent ride, with or without a roof.
