The Appeal

Much like how the R107 and R129-generation SLs really took off among enthusiasts, the R230 is now emerging as the new fan favourite. The SL 350 AMG specification added a sporting dimension to the package. With its 3.5-litre V6 and powered retractable hard top, it remains a compelling choice for those seeking a stylish, usable convertible.

This example has been treated with considerable care by its current owner, and the vendor considers the overall condition to be very good. Any required repairs or replacements have been attended to during the current ownership, and service records from this period are included. The private registration plate is also part of the sale.
