The Appeal

The new Mercedes-Benz SL Class hit the market in 2001 and quickly became one of the most desirable cars on the market. Stylish, comfortable, luxurious, and capable of hitting quite the pace, these cars were very much the new Merc for the 21st century - dedicated to offering a more luxurious, modern, and trendy take on their traditional formulas.

This example—the 350 SL—features the smaller, cheaper-to-run engine. But don't let that fool you. With 242bhp available, this V6 powerplant is still a rock-solid, capable and pacey piece of machinery, offering a highly dynamic drive for the lucky driver.

This fine example of the SL350 is a solid, beautifully kept car—with a very clean MOT history and a current advisory-free certificate that runs through to June 2025. We're informed it's carrying a comprehensive stamped service record book and that it's driving every bit as well as you'd expect.
