Convertible - Mercedes SL

The SL isn’t the newest luxury convertible on the block but it’s still one of the most desirable open-tops

mercedes sl

A slice of the Hollywood lifestyle for £25,000: the SL isn’t the newest luxury convertible on the block but it’s still one of the most desirable open-tops. Its length of service means a huge range of petrol and diesel versions are available, but it is sensible to stick with the base 350 petrol variant and buy as new as possible. A 2006 model that’s covered less than 50,000 miles will fall within budget.
