*Solid example
*Striking colour combination
*Great for road trips
Retaining the glamorous looks of its predecessors the SL for the noughties ushered in much new technology to improve the driving experience. As always Mercedes-Benz offered a choice of engines including a 3.7-litre as used in this SL350 model. This example has lasted very well, a testament to the care bestowed on it by its previous owners. The bodywork is in good order and the paint is too: trim, wheels and tyres are good. The interior – always a comfortable, attractive place to be sat and especially on long journeys – has lasted well and seats, door cards and dashboard present well. The mechanicals keep the thread going, the engine starting and running well - the car comes to market with a long MoT, relating invoices and a V5C document.
