I've just bought an SL350 R231. 2012 with 29k miles. Mercedes service every year up to 2020 and will be serviced again before I collect it. All the desirable options (plus more!).

It's Fire Opal Red and I'm well aware of all the problems some owners have had with this paintwork.

I will obviously be giving it a thorough inspection before accepting it and welcome any advice as to what and where to look for any potential problem areas.

Here's some pics

These models need a good long soak test before you take it over. If you could buy it, and lend it to me for a month or three I promise to give it a through work out. 🤓. Looks to be a lovely SL, enjoy.

Cheers! I'm picking it up near where you are (Jardine's, Towcester) ;)
 
That is a really gorgeous colour combination (but them I’m slightly biased)!
Enjoy plenty of top down motoring and all the admiring glances you’re going to get…

Very beautiful color. My mate has got one and its a classic. The looks last forever. Congratulations there.
Cheers. Good ones in this colour scheme scheme, at a reasonable price, don't seem to come round very often
 
Does it have "Don't Panic" on it somewhere, in nice friendly letters? Maybe a spare towel in the glove box :) *

Seriously, looks absolutely gorgeous.
