Mercedes R230 500 SL

The Mercedes R230 SL has slipped under the radar for many years but is now firmly considered to be an attainable modern classic.

With the introduction of a metal folding roof, plus many other innovations, Mercedes brought the SL firmly into the 21^st century and away from Mercedes of old. 

Presented here is a stunning 2002 500 SL example in the attractive colour combination of Obsidian Black with full red leather interior which has clearly been lovingly cared for its entire life.

With all the usual creature comforts of a premium convertible such as heated and cooled electric massage seats, this 500 SL is a joy to drive together with that silky smooth and powerful 5.0 V8, automatic gearbox and ABC suspension system.

A huge amount of recent work has been carried out, too, including…

• 4 new Pirelli tires
• Full wheel refurbishment
• ABC suspension overhaul
• New vacuum pump for central locking
• New catalytic converter

An impressive example of a sure modem classic with fresh NCT and full service history in a very desirable colour combo. An excellent entry point into SL ownership.
