2003 R230 SL500 Designo Launch, 2007 E350 Sport RWD, and 2016 E350 Sport 4Matic

My 2003 Designo Launch Edition. Pretty much stock. 53k miles on it now. Well-maintained. Runs like a top. It’s a rare day that I drive it and don’t have someone offering compliments or expressing amazement that this is now a 21 model year old car. Lovely design.

R230 500SL
New to me, purchased by my Father new in 2004. He just purchased an Eclass convertible.

Diamond Silver over Red, 49k miles on this one.

Ready to take on some projects; front roof lock needs replacement, valve cover gaskets, plugs ; will probably just do the full kit with coil packs. wheels are stained fortunately no curb rash. Otherwise great service history from day one; SBC failed at 40k miles, replaced at no cost by dealer.

I Just replaced tires, K57 relay and crank position sensor.

Here’s my 2012 SL63




What do you think of the wheels? I’m not super fond of them and looking for the triple spoke originals. Let me know if anyone has a set for sale.
