The R230 was a real technical trailblazer in its day, and even now is a remarkably impressive car. Handsome, curvy and subtle styling plays off with a ritzy vario-roof and impressive ABC technology to create a premium roadster that still feels fiercely up to date twenty years later. As a result, they're wildly popular modern classics that are eminently drivable and charismatic.
This particular example, finished in Jasper Blue, has been with its current owner for over a decade. With comprehensive dealer service history up to 45,000 miles, recent maintenance carried out, and, of course, an advisory-free MOT until August 2026, this fine SL Class is ready and waiting for its new owner. image.png3.31 MB

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
