Divine 493bhp supercharged SL showing just 34,336 miles with desirable
Panoramic roof - Investment Alert!
Dating from
July 2002 this earlier R230 generation of Mercedes SL comes to us in monstrous
SL55 AMG form, finished in Tanzanite Blue metallic and sat upon its original 18”
jet-fin alloy wheels we note fitment of the expensive optional and highly
desirable glass Panoramic roof, the car looking very enticing
indeed.
Under the sculpted hood we find
the mighty 5.4 litre M113 supercharged AMG V8 engine which develops 493bhp
and a whopping 700NM of torque driving the rear wheels via five-speed 5G-tronic
automatic/tiptronic transmission.
Performance, as you might imagine is vivid, with the dash to sixty mph
arriving in just 4.5 seconds and could, so say MB engineers, hit 208mph
de-restricted although most UK cars are restricted to
155mph.
Inside the comfortable cabin, we find a
light grey leather interior with perforated electrically adjustable, heated
memory seats with adj. lumbar and massage (Pulse) facility. Furthermore, this example boasts
automatic Xenon headlights with headlight wash, dark wood trim, COMAND
navigation and in-car entertainment, electric windows, electric mirrors, cruise
control, adjustable air suspension with ABC, stability control, parking sensors,
power folding mirrors, dual zone climate control with AC, trip computer,
multi-function steering wheel and of course the clever electric folding roof
with sun blind for the glass Panoramic section.
This lovely example shows just 34,366 miles which have, we
understand been covered by members of the same family who have owned the car
since new, with just c.10,000 of those being covered since 2011, as a result the
car presents beautifully with wonderfully waxed and protected paint/bodywork and
very smart interior.
The history file includes
the V5C revealing six former keepers (all believed to be in the same family),
the owner’s pack with handbooks and service book showing eight stamps with two
by Mercedes benz, the rest by an independant. The most recent service is
mentioned on a printed info sheet on the car in the file and stamped, carried
out in August 2021 at 34,022 miles.
The current MOT is valid until
September 2023 and records no advisories and as such, this powerful roadster
looks ready to be enjoyed.
