what a beautiful machine
MODERN CLASSIC MERCEDES SL 600 For Sale (1999) on Car And Classic UK [C353986]

 

[Ierton]

Facelifted 600s are quite rare, but £20k is too much - £14k at best being realistic.

 

[BTB 500]

Looks quite nice, but silly money. Something wrong with the offside headlamp wiper too

 

[IanA2]

And V12 service bills to boot....

 

[Bluebell]

No panoramic roof and the worst (hospital brown) dash/steering wheel colour combination, nice, but rather overpriced.

Shame really, I'd rather like a low mileage 600.

That is a panoramic roof in the photos. As for the colour of the steering wheel and dash, the darker tone used with the bright helios trim is to avoid excessive reflection in the windscreen.

Stunning car but too heavy on the price... 600's are expensive to look after.

You could get an equally low mileage SL60 for that money if you are prepared to wait.

That is one disgusting coloured interior, why would you choose that???

 

[Red C220]

I like the interior.

 

[Will]

Wouldn't say that it was 'disgusting' - maybe a bit more 'mature' in taste than many would choose, but then I guess it would have taken a relatively mature (wealthy) buyer to have had £100k to spend on a new car to begin with..

Each to their own - I have seen far worse personally (eg designo!)

 

[IanA2]

I suspect the interior looks a lot better in the flesh.

 

[Ierton]

Doubtful, but that's obviously personal preference.

 

[swannymere]

I just don't get why anybody would have cream leather, it seems such a safe, boring and bland choice. That car would have looked much better with a oxblood or tan interior, even black at a push.

 

[mabz]

i like it but oxblood would really set it off.

 

[aka$h]

The interior is not a bland beige but is Helios which is a very bright yellow/cream. Was driving an SL today with the same trim and even on a dull day, it still feels bright and airy with the panoroof.

But each to their own.

 

[joemac]

the dark coloured seats are supposed to be unbearable in the summer because they soak up so much heat when the car's left with the roof down

 

[Ierton]

You need some sun first - in the UK that's never really a problem!

 

[joemac]

errrr well yes there is that to consider

 

[Setanta]

Having returned to Australia, and forgotten how stupidly expensive cars are here, that would sell here in Sydney for full asking within a week.

*sigh*

That is awesome but not at that £.

I have the Helios leather with the brown dash; I have never found the dash colour offensive but put up with it because I love the leather colour and I dont think you can have one without the other.
