Description
The R230 generation of Mercedes-Benz SL Class was introduced at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show and 2001 Bologna Motor Show, replacing the R129. The R230 underwent revisions in 2006 and 2008 and was superseded by the new SL Class R231 in 2011. The SL600 is the highest output version of the non-AMG SL Class models. It uses a V12 engine which produced 493bhp, thus making it a very rapid luxury sports car with 60mph achieved in just 3.6 seconds when tested by Car and Driver despite the factory stating the figure at more modest 4.7!
This is an excellent example of the flagship R230 SL600, in a very attractive dark blue metallic with tan leather interior, a nice change from the usual silver or black cars! The car is presented in excellent condition and has clearly lived a cherished life. Our vendor purchased the car from his good friend in 2023, who owned the car for around 11 years and cherished it. The car was freshly serviced by Mercedes-Benz Guildford after purchase and has been used very sparingly since. The car is supplied with a comprehensive service history, with all services having been carried out by Mercedes-Benz main agents. The car is supplied with an MoT test certificate valid until November 2024 and a V5C registration document. Offering almost unbelievable ‘bang for buck’, these V12 roadsters make a perfect GT cruiser, and this example should not be missed. Consigned by Fraser Smith
