Description
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz SL convertible is the sort of grand touring roadster that blends presence, luxury, and open-top usability in one elegant package. Finished in black with matching black perforated leather seats, this two-seat SL comes with a 3.5-litre petrol engine and automatic transmission, offering the refined power and smoothness buyers expect from Mercedes-Benz. The SL's folding hardtop and panoramic Vario roof let you switch between a coupe-like sealed cabin and an effortlessly glamorous convertible in seconds, making it versatile for year-round use.
Practical luxury is what makes the SL stand out as an ownership proposition. Despite being a performance-oriented roadster, reviewers praise this generation for its comfort and refinement: Edmunds calls the 2014 SL "a beautifully executed blend of luxury, technology and performance," which captures why owners rave about everyday usability as much as the car's sporting ability. With only two seats, a useful boot for a convertible, and well-sorted refinement, the SL is ideal for buyers who want both long-distance comfort and open-air excitement.
This example is loaded with desirable features that significantly enhance the convertible experience. The electrically operated wind deflector and the AIRSCARF neck-level heating system make top-down driving comfortable in cooler weather by delivering warm air around the neck and shoulders — a distinctive Mercedes innovation that extends the convertible season. Mercedes describes AIRSCARF as warm air channels integrated into the headrests that "wrap your neck and shoulders in a comforting embrace," and owners consistently say it transforms chilly top-down drives.
On performance and engineering, the R231-generation SL (the 2014 model year) benefited from significant weight savings and modern chassis engineering that improved handling without sacrificing the limo-like comfort the SL is known for. Top Gear highlighted how the V6 variant gained efficiency and liveliness through lighter construction, making the SL both quicker and more composed than its predecessor — a real selling point for buyers who want a capable grand tourer that still feels planted and secure.
Finally, this car's provenance adds to its appeal: you mentioned a great service history with lots of paperwork. For premium German convertibles, documented service history is one of the most important ownership signals — it helps preserve value and reassures buyers about long-term reliability and maintenance. Combine that with the SL's strong expert reputation for comfort, technology and driving refinement (Motor Trend and other outlets note the SL as a benchmark premium roadster) and you have a compelling package for buyers seeking a luxurious, practical, and iconic convertible.
