SL 500 R 230 (2001-2006), brilliant silver, B66040688 | Worldwide delivery

The SL of the 230 series impressed the automotive world in 2001 when it was presented to the Hamburg press for the first time in the Deichtorhallen. Thanks to the then unique combination of state-of-the-art electronic chassis systems, it offered an outstanding driving experience that focused on maximum driving safety. Its design united tradition and future through striking details, such as the narrow, wing-like profiles on the side air openings, the horizontally elongated radiator grille and the muscular-looking mudguards. Unlike its predecessors, the SL R 230 always carried its fixed roof with it. The integration of the vario-roof also made the body a special highlight, which could be opened or closed at the touch of a button in just 16 seconds. This charm of the model series is captured in the miniature version, which is manufactured in die-cast zinc with plastic parts. The hand-assembled precision model on a scale of 1:18 offers a true-to-original representation with all the interior details. Four parts of the model, doors, hood and tailgate, can be opened. The model also comes with a vario-roof. Supplied in Mercedes-Benz Classic packaging, the model also comes with a screwdriver which can be used to loosen the screws in the packaging and remove the model from the packaging using the glove provided.
