The Appeal
The R230 remains one of the most potent grand tourers Mercedes-Benz has produced. A perfect addition to their remarkable roadster lineage, the R230 was sleek, beautifully styled and effortlessly modern - and when you take on the AMG Kompressor spec, you're guaranteed something special. Its supercharged 5.4-litre V8, mated to a five-speed automatic gearbox and underpinned by the sophisticated Active Body Control suspension, all delivers a compelling blend of brute performance and refined open-top cruising that feels every bit as relevant today as it did in 2003.
This 2003 example stands out thanks to its original special order paintwork, which suits those sleek lines down to the road. Recent mechanical attention has included a brake overhaul, supercharger and auxiliary belt replacements, and an oil service. The vendor describes the interior as being in very good order for its age, and modern conveniences including Apple CarPlay, navigation and a parking camera have been added. With an MOT valid until July 2027, all that's missing is the car's lucky new keeper. image.png1.31 MB
