2003 MERCEDES-BENZ SL

Air Conditioning,Electric Windows,Climate Control,,NEW ARRIVAL The Mercedes R230 emerged from a five year development cycle to premiere at the 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show. After the charming angularity of the R129, the new car looked impressively slippery, more organic looking, sleek even. It looked sleek because it was and a new electrically folding steel top was a key feature of the new model. The new “Vario” roof employed eleven hydraulic cylinders to deploy in just 16 seconds. Other, if less obvious, innovations included Sensotronic Braking System (SBS) which removed any physical connection between the pedal and the pads. This enabled the ECU to link with suspension sensors to allocate braking to each wheel. Active Body Control (ABC) was also new and combined conventional spring and dampers with a hydraulic servo to manage roll and deliver switchable modes. Once again the Mercedes-Benz SL was bang up to date and ready to take on the world. This car was supplied new by Mercedes Benz in Weston-Super-Mare and was first registered on the 26th March 2003 with the number plate WV03 DZW and it has had a total of 5 previous keepers with the current owner acquiring the car on its 19th birthday on 26th March 2022.
