Description
Description 4,973cc petrol V8; showing 90,228 miles; hard-to-find glass roof hardtop; An MOT is in place until 23 July 2026; great history file
First registered in April 1999, this Mercedes-Benz SL500 represents the final years of the R129 era, a model now widely regarded as a modern classic.
Finished in metallic dark blue / black with a contrasting beige leather interior, it remains an elegant and imposing roadster, blending understated luxury with unmistakable V8 presence.
Power comes from the 4,973cc petrol V8 paired with a five-speed automatic gearbox, delivering the smooth, effortless performance for which the SL is renowned.
The car drives, stops, and starts exactly as it should, as demonstrated in recent photos and video, and has clearly been maintained with regular use rather than stored away.
The service history is particularly reassuring, with the original service book showing 13 stamps alongside receipts documenting work carried out over the years.
