• A mere 34,800 miles from new (at the time of consignment)
• Two private owners from new
• Understood to boast all of its factory paintwork
• A rare notably well presented and maintained R230

Introduced at the September 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230-series of Mercedes-Benz's long-running SL range remained in production for ten years. Arguably the most accomplished two-seater Grand Tourer of its generation, the newcomer offered a blend of performance, ride, handling and refinement that few, if any, rivals could match. The SL 350 boasted a 0-60mph time of 7.2 secs and top-speed of 155mph from the 3724cc V6 (241bhp/258lbft) engine.

Manufactured in 2005, the SL 350 offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom, being first registered on the 31^st of October that year. Finished in Iridium Silver metallic paintwork with Grey leather interior upholstery, the SL 350 was specified from new with climate control, 17-inch alloys, Sat-Nav, aluminium trim pieces, electric mirrors, and xenon headlamps. Retained in first ownership for some sixteen years, the R230 has had just two owners from new and is offered having covered a mere 34,800 warranted miles. A notably nicely presented R230, ‘LS55 CNE’ is understood to retain all of its factory paintwork.

Benefitting from improvement this year including new boot struts, brake fluid change, and re-gassing of the air-conditioning, the Mercedes is supplied by a documented service history with the service book that shows six services, and further servicing and maintenance invoices accompanying. Offered with a history file that contains the original book pack with stamped service book, a collection of previous MOT certificates, a selection of invoices, a no advisory MOT certificate until August 2024, a current V5C document showing two former keepers (the first owner had the vehicle registered in a business and then private name), and copies of the previous logbooks. Notably nice, low mileage and ownership R230s are beginning to become understandably collectable, and this example would be a fine addition to any collection.
