This R230-generation Mercedes-Benz SL350 is a well-presented example of the marque’s stylish modern classic roadster, offered with a solid maintenance history. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V6, producing around 200kW and driving the rear wheels via a seven-speed 7G-Tronic semi-automatic transmission with paddle shift. This Australian-market example has been with the third owner for around five years, and the odometer shows 81,500 Kms from new. This SL350 is finished in the timeless combination of Iridium Silver Metallic over a black leather-trimmed interior, featuring perforated seat inserts, punctuated by handsome burred walnut veneer trim inlays on the centre console and door cards. It now rides on a set of 17-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, shod with Continental SportContact tyres on the front, and Kapsen SportMax S2000s on the rear. The factory specification includes bi-xenon headlights, headlamp washers, front and rear parking sensors, a multifunctional steering wheel, a COMAND media system with satellite navigation and CD multichanger, dual-zone air conditioning, electrically adjustable folding door mirrors, cruise control, and electrically adjustable front seats with three-position memory. The car is accompanied by a first aid kit, a stamped service booklet, two keys, and all the owner’s manuals with a black leather wallet. The registration shown in the photos is not included in the sale. The Iridium Silver Metallic paintwork is reported to be in very good overall condition given the car’s age, though the seller notes minor scuffs on the nearside front wheel arch, a very small dent on the boot, and the rear boot brake light is slightly cracked. Inside, the cabin is presented in great shape, in line with the relatively low mileage. The seller notes slight scratches on both chrome door sills. There is also mild creasing on the seats, with minor wear on the driver’s seat bolster, but no significant wear. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults, and they state that there are no warning lights on the dashboard.

Bob & Coreys Peakhurst Workshop also carried out the previously scheduled service in May 2020 at 78,942 Kms.
