Description
This superb Mercedes SL320 was first registered on the 27th of August 1997, supplied by Road Range Mercedes of Liverpool. Upon its first registration, the Mercedes was regularly used, covering over half its total mileage in the first six years. Since 2003 the SL320 has averaged a conservative 1500 miles per year whilst being meticulously maintained. Accompanying the car is a comprehensive history of invoices and MOT certificates dating back to 2002 warranting the total to 86000 miles.
Road Range had the car back for its first service at 14148 miles, further stamps fill up the service book at 25834, 33488, 42827, 52237, 54292, 58878, 65272, 69256, 72598, 76109 miles. With the service book full, invoices in the file show services at 79706, 83318 at a Mercedes-Benz specialist. In 2009, the cars exhaust system was upgraded to a full new cat back system from a performance specialist giving a great exhaust note. The 3. 2L engine is superbly strong and pulls smoothly through the rev range while the 5-speed automatic box puts in the leg work effortlessly between gears.
Throughout the exterior the Brilliant Silver paintwork holds a deep finish showing superb level of car for the car over the years albeit with a few marks from the panoramic hard top from removal and installation. Stepping inside the cabin you are met with a wealth of tech and creature comforts including air conditioning, climate control, electrically operated soft top, electric seats, electric mirrors and windows. With all the mod cons it comes as no surprise to learn the SL320 was runner-up for the coveted European Car of the Year accolade in 1990.
