"The fifth generation of the legendary SL Series, known as the R230, has been with its current owner for the past 11 years. Always properly garaged and used only during the summer months, it has proven to be a reliable and trouble-free car."

Description

This car was sold new in Japan and later exported and registered in Sweden in 2014. At the time of registration, it showed 70,290 km. Shortly after, it was purchased by the current owner, who has now kept it for 11 years. Today, the odometer reads just 100,892 km, with the mileage confirmed by the service book (although written in Japanese) and further supported by the car’s excellent overall condition inside and out.

Used only as a summer car, it has covered roughly 300–500 km per year, mainly on local trips and occasional Mercedes Club meetings. The owner reports it has been a very reliable car, regularly serviced and with worn parts replaced as needed, ensuring it remains in top running condition.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine starts instantly, runs smoothly and balanced, and delivers that wonderful V8 sound. On the road it drives very well, with a responsive gearbox, solid handling, and sharp brakes. During the test drive, no warning lights appeared and all electrical functions operated correctly, including the seats, mirrors, windows, roof, and cold air conditioning.

    Recent work includes replacement of the drive and fan belts, air-conditioning service and refill, new battery, full wheel alignment, reprogramming of the driver’s seat, replacement and adjustment of the rear boot lid lock, as well as a fresh inspection with no remarks—valid until 2026-07-31.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is exceptionally well kept, showing no damage and only a few minor marks on the driver’s seat. A standout detail is the instrument panel, trimmed in Alcantara—likely a factory option. The radio head unit has been upgraded to a modern system with Bluetooth connectivity and GPS navigation

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight with no signs of damage or rust, matched by a clean and solid underbody. The glossy black paint presents extremely well, with only a few minor imperfections, including some small chips on the bonnet and a 3 cm scratch on the rear right wing (see pictures). It rides on attractive AMG split alloy wheels fitted with good tyres.

  • General condition:

    Extremely well kept and cherished by its owner for the past 11 years, this car is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner. Thanks to its iconic status, it is undoubtedly a future collector’s item.

Auction information

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
