Introduction
Josh Sharples
Silky smooth V12 power pushing out nearly 500BHP, do you really need any more in a GT roadster like this?
The R320 took over from the R129 SL, pitched against the most exotic car manufacturers in the world, the SL not only acted as a flagship model for the brand but came with a heritage that combines quality, safety, performance and practicality - with a touch of styling panache. The car used state of the art technology for its braking and suspension systems. One of the R230s biggest facets was the electronic folding hard top, gone were the days of having to ask a family member or neighbour for removing and storing the hard top, just a flick of the switch and the solid roof folds in to the boot.
This example is coming to market from ~2.5 years ownership, it's the "SL600" with the 5.5L V12 power-plant and presents in excellent condition having covered ~41,900 miles over it's life. Used sparingly during the pandemic, and a major B service in 2020 just ~600 miles ago.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Josh after meeting Kevin the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi Kevin,
Hi Kevin,
I’ve placed a bid but your reply stating no issues with A,B,C etc suspension has only allowed me to bid a low bid as your reply lacked depth.
I accept you have done very limited miles but do you know of any of its past before you??
Cheers
Gary.
Have you looked at the history you will see it did have a suspension leg replaced all his on advert
My comment re loss of power was based on customers requests on service schedule as documented in last service invoice .
Hey Kevin, I see the car has only done 600 miles over the last two years, and unfortunately this generation of SLs’ suspensions tend to fail if not driven for a while and can be a very expensive fix. Have you done any servicing on the ABC suspension (changing the fluids, replacing the pump)? What about the SBC and the roof mechanism?
Nothing wrong with car
Prior to last service comment that car was losing power under load?
No loss of power rubish
Good Morning Kevin.
I’ve owned a SL600 and now would like one as a classic weekend car……l had one but sadly it had multiple electrical issues in 2012 at 7 years old so l sold it for a S500.
