Comprehensive service history with most recent service in January 2025
Garaged/kept under a car port since new
The Appeal
Mercedes-Benz was determined that its SL350 would not to play second fiddle to the V8-engined 500. Despite having two fewer cylinders, the SL350 still managed a mightily impressive 245 BHP, all while achieving significantly better fuel economy than its big brother. Two decades on, the SL350 remains the enthusiasts' choice, and you'd be hard-pushed to find a better example as this one from 2003.
The vendor tells us:
"I bought the vehicle in 2022 with 12,000 miles on the clock and have covered another 2,000 miles since then. It has been regularly serviced with the latest service at the end of January 2025 with a new MOT.
"There is a great service history and it drives like new. For a bit of nostalgia the factory fit radio/cassette player is supplemented by a six-stacker CD and there is even a factory fitted Nokia car phone kit!
"Having had one of these twenty years ago I can just say it is a pleasure to drive. The benefit of the SL350 over the SL500 is the SL350 does not have the hydraulic suspension which can be a real issue on twenty plus year old examples."
Complete with a year's MOT, this modern classic convertible is ready for some top-down spring and summer motoring.image.png5.44 MB
