Lot details

Registration No: YK58 OUE
Chassis No: WDB2304582F153799
MOT: September 2025

  • Only 1 owner from new
  • Warranted under 35,000 miles from new
  • Finished in Obsidian Black paintwork with Black leather interior
  • Supplied with the book pack with documented service history

The R230 was introduced in 2001 and continued the evolution of SL with smoother body design and new peanut-shaped headlamp design. The fifth-generation SL-Class featured a 'Vario Roof' retractable hardtop, Active Body Control (ABC) active suspension system, Keyless Go keyless entry and smart key, and Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) electro-hydraulic power brake system. In 2008, the R230 SL underwent a significant facelift featuring new and revised engines and a new front end that evoked the classic 300 SL with a large grille, a prominent three-pointed star and twin "power domes" on the bonnet. It also features new headlights, which give the car the modern look it enjoys with an optional "Intelligent Light System" and a new speed sensitive steering system.

Manufactured in 2008, this early facelift SL 350 example was road registered new on the 17th of October that year to its first owner and has been retained by that lady since, and until recently has always worn a private registration number. Well specified from new with five-spoke alloy wheels, heated electric memory seats, Mercedes COMAND APS, climate control, tyre pressure sensors, heated screen wash system, bi-xenon headlamps, and Parktronic, the ‘YK58 OUE’ is finished in Obsidian Black paintwork with Black leather interior and ‘Black Ash’ wood trim, the roof features a Panoramic sunroof.

Offered now having covered a warranted under 35,000 miles from new, the SL has benefitted from a recent new battery as well as a full service in September this year and was provided with an MOT at the same time which is passed without any advisories. Accompanied by a history file that contains the book pack, collection of service invoices, current V5C document, and two sets of keys. A wonderful balance of sport, technology, and luxury, low mileage and ownership examples of the second-generation R230 are potentially a smart investment for the future.
