Mercedes SL320 V6 221bhp (facelift model) with 58k miles. I've owned it since April 2010 (with 42,000 miles). I qualified as a Jaguar technician early in my career and sold Mercedes Benz cars during the year this car was new, and this has been a great project for me over the years and my work situation has changed, so think I sadly need to sell the car. Its been garaged & car covered since I've owned it and since Covid (03/2020) it has been SORN, and during this time its been run up and moved around. Everything works, full set of original manuals, radio code, and have 2 keys (batteries changed recently). Major service done 11 miles ago before it was SORN. Just had new fuel pump & filter, battery fitted, and work listed below to pass MOT. Roof works fine, soft top in lovely condition, garaged and no winter use.
Below is a list of work that has been completed since I've had the car, some by a local independent garage I have used for years, some work was done when I worked as a General Manager at VW dealers (had an ex Merc mechanic). In total 9 services, 8 stamped in book and 1 on invoice. I have many MOT's that confirm the milage. HPI was done before I bought the car, nothing was showing, no accident damage since I've owned the car either.

Only thing that came up on all previous MOT's (since 2010) as advisory was the two windscreen chips low down and not in view (as dashboard/Instrument cluster hides them). I was going to claim on windscreen insurance and then decided I didn't want it removed. No silly offers please.
