The Background
The Mercedes SL has been around since 1954 and as you can imagine due to its upgrades and improvements developed over the years it’s easy to see why it’s regarded as one of the best 2 seater, grand tourer sports convertibles, you can buy.
This particular model is the baby in terms of power train but it still houses a whopping 3.7 Litre 18 Valve V6 under the bonnet of this tiny car forcing out a healthy 245 HP to the rear wheels.
This model, the R230 was also one of the first to feature Mercedes ABC (active body control) which offers the exquisite balance of comfort and handling using accumulators and hydraulic fluids to regulate the firmness and heights of the suspension giving you a smooth but sporty ride.
The History
This particular SL comes with a substantial service history and associated record of bills for servicing. The car has had a recent oil service and inspection including a fresh MOT ticket. Along with the recent service the following items were also completed, system reset, new brake light switch, new high capacity battery and a full Valet.
The original service book is present and it shows 6 stamps including the recent oil service. At 73000 miles a new roof driver pump was fitted at a cost of £1449.
The Paperwork
There are receipts covering any items that have been replaced including the boot lock, ball joints. There is also a receipt for an air-conditioning condenser and subsequent re-gas in august 2020. The spare key is also present.
The Interior
The inside of this car is a very nice compartment and shows you exactly what Mercedes can do when they put their minds to it. Supple climate controlled seats (hot and cold), a nice chunky steering wheel with paddle shift, a built in sat nav and premium sound system and let’s not forget the hardtop panoramic glass folding roof which can be converted at the touch of a button.
A lot of these additions were expensive options when the car was ordered from new and now as a second hand vehicle they mean it’s a well equipped example.
The Exterior
The exterior is finished in the Obsidian black which is a lovely colour on this 2 seater sports car. The car is fitted with 18” 5 spoke AMG alloys which are in great condition, electric folding mirrors and parking sensors.
The bodywork is in great condition and aside the odd age related stone chop, it has clearly been looked after. The roof is operating as it should as well.
The Mechanicals
The V6 245 HP is delivered through a smooth 7 speed automatic gearbox. In addition, to aid driver control and allow your hands to stay on the wheel, the vehicle is also fitted with paddle shift should you want to drop a cog when you’re in the twisties.
The car drives really well and is a testament to the cars well developed chassis, reinforcing the notion that you don’t need the world’s biggest engine to throw this very capable car around some bends and have some fun, it even sounds and of course looks great too.
The Appeal
Mercedes started the SL story nearly 67 years ago and the fact that it is still churning them out under the same SL badge is a clear sign of how popular they are and how well they drive.
In terms of recipe, it doesn’t get much simpler. Big engine at the front, power sent to the back, seats/people in the middle. They have thrown in the Convertible hard top roof (a safety and security feature over the old cloth roofs) and there you have it, a classy, beautifully made two seater grand tourer that most of us would love to own. This particular example with its well chosen optional extras is a lovely vehicle and carries the SL name on with pride.
If you haven’t yet driven one, you should try it. You won’t look back.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
