Well-equipped R230 example combining Mercedes-Benz build quality, luxury, and everyday usability
Finished in Black complemented to a grey leather interior
The R230-series Mercedes-Benz SL represented a significant step forward for the marque’s long-running SL lineage, combining advanced engineering with refined grand touring capability. Introduced with a fully automatic folding metal roof, the model offered the security and comfort of a coupé with the open-air appeal of a convertible. The SL350 variant is powered by a smooth and responsive 3. 7-litre V6 engine, delivering effortless performance through an automatic transmission, well suited to relaxed touring or everyday use.
Well regarded for its blend of luxury and usability, the R230 also benefitted from a high level of standard equipment, including leather upholstery, climate control, and a suite of electronic driver aids. Its composed ride and refined cruising manners have ensured enduring appeal among those seeking a comfortable yet capable open-top sports car.
This particular example has covered just 58, 523 miles, a notably low figure for its age, and is presented as a smart and usable modern classic. Offering the hallmark Mercedes-Benz build quality and engineering associated with the period, it is increasingly recognised for its understated design and versatility.
Offered here as an appealing entry into SL ownership, it provides an attractive opportunity for refined open-top motoring.
