The archetypal grand tourer, the Mercedes SL boasts a pedigree that few grand tourers can match. The sixth-generation Mercedes SL convertible was launched in 2012 and built almost entirely of lightweight aluminium with a magnesium metal folding roof, a first for a volume production Mercedes meaning the R231 iteration of the SL-class was 25 per cent lighter than its all-steel predecessor, and more rigid. There were also significant weight reductions with the folding roof, seats, suspension and running gear. The engine line-up consists of five options, including two AMG models, ranging from just north of 300 brake horsepower to 621 brake horsepower on the range topping models. The 0-62mph sprint can be covered in as little as 4.3 seconds by the V8 bi-turbo, while the naturally aspirated V6 will achieve it in 5.9, still an extremely competent performance figure for an 'entry-level' model.
First UK registed on 4th March 2014, this example boasts an impressive factory specification including a full glass panoramic roof, airscarf, Bi-Xenon headlights and parktronic. Purchased by the current owner in June 2024, it bears the cherished registration number Y9 VYY and has completed c.64,000 miles from new having spent a significant portion of its life in and around Cheshire where it was always servied at main Mercedes-Benz dealers as noted in the impressive history file. Described as in a very good cosmetic and mechanical condition, it is supplied with the original Mercedes-Benz bookpack and a current Swansea V5c.
