The Appeal

The R230 offered another notch in the belt of Mercedes' legendary roadster lineage. This new generation offered grand-touring refinement with clever engineering, none more so than its folding electric hardtop, which transformed the car from sleek coupé to open-air roadster at the touch of a button. Powered by a 3.7-litre V6 paired with a five-speed automatic gearbox, it was no slouch on the road, either.

This 2004 example is finished in Obsidian Black metallic over beige leather and has had just three registered keepers from new. It comes with its original service book and invoices documenting maintenance, along with earlier registration document copies. The vendor states it drives well and is a pleasure to drive. With a clean MOT through to June 2027, it's now ready and waiting for its lucky new driver.
