2003 Mercedes-Benz SL350 (R230)
Smart R230
series SL with nice spec including heated blue leather interior showing just
73,702 miles by its 4 owners
Dating from September
2003 this earlier R230 series SL350 features the 245bhp 3.7-litre V6 engine
driving the rear wheels via 5-speed automatic/tiptronic transmission. It is
finished in Iridium silver/blue riding on its original 17inch 7-spoke alloy
wheels with matching blue leather interior and brushed aluminium trim.
Showing just 73,702 miles in the hands of its 4 owners, the car presents
well. Inside, we find the typically well-appointed cockpit, featuring acres of
leather, electric heated memory seats with electric lumbar adjustment, Comand
in-car entertainment and sat nav, dual zone climate control, electric folding
mirrors, windows, cruise control, automatic lights with wash and phone cradle
with Bluetooth.
In addition, the SL features the clever folding metal
roof, although when we attempted to lower the roof for photos, it refused to
fully operate and got stuck half way down so we put it back up via the
in-car switch – one to note and have looked into.
The car has worn its 17
years and 73k well, with the expected age marks to the interior
and both rear arches which show some minor signs of corrosion coming
through on the edges - not uncommon with the R230 series of this
era.
Within the history file, we find the V5C showing 3 former keepers,
the book pack and two service books recording 9 stamps across the pair, the last
in June 2020 at 73,621 miles – but a handful ago which included gearbox oil and
filter, discs and pads, 4 new tyres and a new main battery (the R230 has two)
and current MOT valid until June 2022 which recorded 3 advisories including
registration lamp defective and brake pipes corroded or covered in grease, both
sides, front.
In addition, we find a VOSA MOT history print-out, invoice
for the last stamped service and other sundry bills for routine maintenance and
parts and at least 6 old MOT certificates.
