"A lot of car, engineering and engine for the money. And many future—hopefully trouble-free—collector-car miles ahead. That is, if you choose to drive it."

Description

The car was delivered new in Germany in October 2001 and was registered for use in Sweden just a couple of months later, in January 2002. It was most likely a new-car import and probably arrived with only delivery mileage from the German dealer. Some of the owners have been companies, and a common factor among all owners is that the car has been driven very little. Possibly with the exception of the first owner, who still managed to cover just over 43,000 km in 10 years. Today, the odometer reads 57,240 km, and the most recent approved MOT inspection was carried out on 24 June 2025.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine, gearbox and chassis feel solid and strong, just as expected. With all its electrical functions and equipment, this is a car that benefits from being used regularly, as the condition and charge of the battery are crucial. New rear brakes have been fitted, including calipers, discs and pads.

  • Interior condition:

    Smart and tidy interior, with some signs of use on the driver’s seat and also on the floor behind it, possibly from a spilled coffee at some point. A new, upgraded and modern head unit is fitted with all functions intact, including Bluetooth and steering wheel controls. The wind deflector is complete and clean, and folds up and down easily.

  • Exterior condition:

    A few stone chips on the front, but otherwise a smart and presentable exterior in beautiful dark blue metallic. The folding hardtop operates well, although for example the boot opening can be a little temperamental when the battery voltage is low. As with many modern cars, the battery and the well-being of all electrical functions are an important part of the car’s care and maintenance. Once again, a car of this calibre benefits from being used a little each season, as longer periods of inactivity often create issues. Undamaged original alloy wheels fitted with Pirelli P Zero tyres from 2015 with good tread, 255/35/R19 at the front and 285/30/R19 at the rear—though the car has only covered around 6,000 km over the past 10 years.

  • General condition:

    A positive and solid overall impression with a good history and the low mileage as an added bonus, although with the recommendation that the car should still be driven a little each year to help avoid future issues with equipment and electrical functions.

Facts about the model

When the R230 was introduced, it was the first Mercedes-Benz model to feature a folding metal roof. And, as always with new and premium Mercedes models, it represented a significant step forward in both technology and comfort. The new model shared much of its advanced technology with the S- and CL-Class. It also featured design details that paid homage to the classic ‘Gullwing’. A facelift followed in 2006, among other things bringing increased engine output. Over the years, the model was offered in versions including the SL 350, SL 500, SL 55 AMG, SL 600 and SL 65 AMG. The latter featured a V12 biturbo producing 604 horsepower. The model and its various versions were produced until 2011, when it was time for the new R231 to take over. According to available information, a total of 169,433 units of the R230 model were produced.

  • 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.
