Looking for classic looking sports car that is not that expensive to buy now
Ever since the world-famous 300 SL Gullwing Coupé was premiered, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class has ranked as one of the most fascinating and coveted cars in the world.
Now this seductive looking fifth generation SL-Class has lost none of this mystique and excels in all the same ways as its predecessors, by offering sophisticated design, groundbreaking technology, exceptional comfort and immense driving pleasure.
At its launch it came with new equipment package from Mercedes-Benz, which was available to order and it gave the two-seater an even sportier, individualised look thanks to a host of refined details both inside and out.
The then large 19-inch wheels (8.5 inches at the front with 255/35 ZR19 Y tyres, 9.5 inches at the rear with 285/30 ZR19 Y tyres) were the most striking visual feature and deftly underscore the extra-special status of the SL-Class with sports package.
The sensational, newly devised design comprising five twin spokes with very straight lines and a hubcap cover featuring the Mercedes star and laurel wreath instantly attracts the gaze of any onlookers.
The wheels’ visual impact was reinforced by the fact that they afford an unimpeded view of the attractively styled front brake callipers, which have been specially painted in silver for the sports package and marked with the Mercedes-Benz lettering.
The high-performance brake system lives up to these sensational looks, assisted by perforated brake discs at the rear wheels too. Dark-tinted tail light units form a further distinguishing feature.
Step inside and the interior, silver-coloured contrast stitching on the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, centre console, selector lever gaiter, armrest as well as the door linings creates an unmistakable emphasis.
The same applies to the borders of the high-grade velour floor mats. A roof liner trimmed in black fabric, new-look aluminium trim as well as the perforated leather adorning the steering wheel and selector lever further underline the car’s sporty aspirations.

By the way, the current Mercedes SL, the SL 43 AMG arrived in Malaysia in June 2023, last year, and it is priced from RM1 million, so this used SL that carries the same form and function is now selling at a fraction of the new SL selling price.
