Mercedes SL SL320 V6 DESIGNO

First registered May 2001 (Y Reg) this SL 320 (R129) Series is a rare Designo Edition finished in Almandine Black. With just 49,000 miles recorded and two former keepers, the last from 2004, this car is immaculate in all respects. The SL Designo was exclusive to the UK and was available in two six-cylinder engines, the 204 hp 2.8 litre and the 224hp 3.2 litre engine as here. Only 50 of each model were built for the UK market making these models highly exclusive. Both models had special paint finishes in either Alanite Green (dark green metallic) or Almandine Black (dark purple metallic) and feature Designo leather and wood trim finishes. This Almandine car is trimmed with two-tone Bordeaux and Black leather, and curly Maple Wood trim in Anthracite. This stunning example has only covered 49,000 miles from new which is supported by a huge folder of paperwork including the original brochure with adverts and guide, a MOT history, a stamped service booklet with 8 Main Dealer stamps and then one from 'The SLshop'. There are further invoices, each in their own pocket in an itemised file detailing all works. Both the substantial history and the excellent condition of this car point to something that has clearly been cherished throughout its life and if kept in this condition, will represent a sure-fire investment for the future.
