Ritzy and loaded with tech, the R230 was one of the most advanced cars Mercedes-Benz had ever built when it released, and it's still pretty impressive today. Boasting a very clever folding hard top and a comfortable, top-of-the-line interior trim, these cars had a big task replacing the R129, but did so with remarkable grace.

This impressive low mileage example, complete with its AMG styling package, is a sporty little number that's ready and waiting for its new keeper. All duties and VAT have been paid, and all that remains is for the buyer to register the car in Europe and return it to the road.
