Description

This isn't just an old Merc, this is an SL320 built in 1997 when quality was a badge of honour, a Mercedes built on a production line by real people, with pride. This car was built to last and is testament to those on the build line that after nearly 30 years it is genuinely as good today as then. Loaded with extras you might expect in more modern cars such as electric heated memory seats, rain sensitive wipers, central locking from the key fob including boot and fuel cap, central locking for glove box, central cubby and cup holder cover; cruise control; electric heated wing mirrorswhat's more, they ALL work! Unlike its predecessor (the R107) when the roof was a bore, these R129 need their hard tops. with the heated rear window and lined roof, the car becomes almost noiseless and drives like a coupe. However when the season takes you, it's good to be able to revert to having the wind in your hair: At a single switch the roof detaches and even with the soft top down, windows raised and original wind deflector fitted all reverts to calm, while you turn up the heat to your feet The blue soft top is raised and lowered at the touch of a button, as is the classic 90s leather clad roll bar. This car has been beautifully looked after throughout its nearly 30 years and comes complete with indoor fitted soft cover, waterproof outdoor cover, roadside recovery set and dusters in the glovebox. The technical bit: This 320 has surprisingly good acceleration from the robust 3.2 litre M104 24-valve straight six, producing 231bhp. It comes supplied with the original 16in wheels on Michelin tyres, it is fitted with upgraded 18in Mercedes AMG 5 spoke alloys on new tyres. The original blue paint maintains its deep colour, with just a couple of age scuffs, clearly having been garaged all its life. The buff leather interior dominates, with a brown wood fascia to break up the beige. This 1997 SL320 is fully serviced, verified mileage, full service history, current MoT with no advisories, 2 keys and fully valeted. Can deliver. Private number not included
