New SL63 owner

[joe2612]

I've been lurking on the forums for some years now with my SL55, but as of this week picked up this:








Always fancied a 63 & love the R230 platform so it was the obvious choice. 56K and full MBSH. Needs a few bits I'll be sorting in the coming weeks, namely:

-Half-retrofitted Distronic,
-C pillar trims and seals
-Some paint here and there
-Auto boot close switch not working

Would love to know if the old owner (s) are on these forums too.

Very nice indeed, one of my favourite colours, never had one bit just love the shape and interior of these.

Hi Matt! Was hoping you would perk up. Unfortunately I’m not, but would love to chat at some point coincidentally I’m from not far from where you were / still are based.

In my personal opinion, I think the facelifted R230 is the most beautiful roadster ever built by MB

Beautiful Car. Is there a section in the forum for the 63 R230.. I'm planning to purchase one soon!

Sadly time for a family car, so will be selling the '63 in the coming weeks :-(

Enjoy the journey: we’ve all been there.

It’s a joy, but not a joy for life, unless you have the means to keep it “just for the weekend.”
