Description

Tidy, earlier R230 with 3.7 V6 and desirable Panoramic Glass roof showing just 79,063 miles

Dating from February 2005 this earlier Mercedes SL350 is of the R230 series and comes to us finished in Brilliant Silver with desirable Panoramic folding hard-top and sits on its original seven-spoke 17” alloy wheels.

Under the bonnet, we find the 3.7 litre M112 V6 petrol engine which develops 242bhp and 350NM of torque driving the rear wheels via five-speed 5G-tronic automatic/tiptronic transmission.

Inside, we find an airy cabin courtesy of the glass Panoramic roof, light grey leather with electric adjustment, heated memory seats, electric windows, electric mirrors, multi-function steering wheel with cruise control, parking sensors, automatic lights and wipers, head lamp wash, dark wood trim, radio/cassette player with CD changer behind the passenger seat, automatic climate control with AC, cup holder, on-board trip computer and Panoramic roof blind.

The car shows just 79,063 miles and presents well with a few stains evident to the interior that may come off with a stout clean and the right products (as pictured) and was driven to the sale.

The history file includes the V5C showing just three former keepers to our vendor, the owner’s pack and service book revealing nine stamps, the last at 76,391 miles in January 2022 by K-Max Ltd of Barnett.  The car looks to have spent time in Dublin looking at the service book with the car showing as having been imported and UK registered in November 2019.

In addition, the history file also includes a selection of bills for parts and maintenance including a £649 spend in June 2022 on rear brake pads, replacement 3rd brake light and new engine mounts plus a service in November 2019 at 63,318 miles and other more historic bills.

The file also includes multiple Irish NCT (MOT) certificates, the Irish Log book and current MOT, valid until March 2024 recording no advisories.

This looks to be a nice example with the desirable Panoramic roof on offer at sensible money with a good history file.
