This R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL350 is a refined yet exciting modern classic roadster, which has been enhanced with a few discerning upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.7-litre V6 with a Powerflash programme for the ECU, which sends its power to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. This Australian-market example was first registered in October 2005 and has been with the seller and fourth owner for four years. The odometer shows 191,044 km from new. This R230-era SL350 is finished in the stylish shade of Cubanite Silver Metallic, over a Pebble Beige leather-trimmed interior, featuring silver and ash wood veneer trim. It rides on an aftermarket set of 19-inch Brabus twin five-spoke monoblock diamond-cut alloy wheels, framing silver Brabus-branded brake callipers, and fitted with Kumho Ecsta tyres. Equipment includes xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, illuminated tread plates, a COMAND media system with satellite navigation and hands-free connectivity, dual-zone air conditioning, switchable driving modes, cruise control, and electrically adjustable heated front seats with three-position memory. This example has been enhanced with a ‘Brabus’ exhaust system, Powerflash programming for the ECU, sports springs, ‘Brabus’ exterior and interior badging, ‘Brabus’ floor mats, and a carbon-fibre gear knob. The car comes with three keys, a space-saver spare wheel, a tyre compressor, tools, a locking wheel nut, the stamped service booklet, the owner’s manuals in a black leather wallet, the Brabus upgrade invoices, the Brabus and Bosch service invoices, a State Roads Vehicle Inspection report, the registration, greenslip and PPSR report, and an Autel Maxicom Vehicle Diagnostic report. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the right-hand side of the car was keyed and then repaired, the right-hand side door and rear boot lid have been repainted, there are stone chips on the bonnet, a few small blemishes around the car, and the steering wheel has been refurbished. The seller notes that the boot intermittently will not automatically close, though if the fuse is reset, it resets to normal. The car’s last roadworthiness test was conducted on 25 October 2021, which is understood to have resulted in a pass with advisories, though the seller notes that these have since been rectified.
