classiccarauctions.co.uk + buyers premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) 195 LOT 370 Estimate: £10,000 - £12,000 2003 MERCEDES-BENZ SL350 (R230) Lovely one-owner SL350 Auto in Brilliant Silver with just 58,500 miles from new. • The words ‘base model’ don’t really work with a car such as a Mercedes SL, but that is essentially what this newcomer (in 2003) was • Priced then at £56,340, it was some £11,450 less than the SL500 - despite identical looks • Auto Express said ‘With 245bhp from its 3.7 litres, the SL350 is far from underpowered, and it is also less thirsty than the SL500, averaging 24.6mpg. The V8 ‘woofle’ may not be present, now replaced by a smooth, sporty six-pot ‘hum’. The V6, connected to a 6-speed Sequentronic manual transmission, is barely any slower than the V8, and the small pace deficit could be due to the more conventional chassis set up, and with the lighter engine the car feels more incisive in corners than the V8’ • One lady owner and just 58,000 miles from new. Fresh MOT for the sale • Partial service history however the MOT history clearly backs up the mileage • A great opportunity to own a low-mileage, prestige convertible just in time for the summer Lot Details Reg: YB53 YHP Chassis no.: WDB2304672F070652 Mileage: 58,000 MOT expiry: TBA Consignor: Simon Langsdale Telephone No: 07496 556325 Vendor Condition Report: Overall: 106/135 ««««¶ More Details Lot 370 Bid On Lot 370
