Condition

The car is described as a 'stunning example' with only 54,600 miles, a sizeable history file, and recent service including shock absorber replacement. It has a special edition trim, desirable factory options, and is one of only 100 RHD models made for the UK market. However, as a used vehicle it is unlikely to be in absolutely perfect condition.

The 4973cc, R129 Mercedes-Benz SL500 carried on the tradition of the fast and reliable grand touring convertible from Mercedes-Benz.

Born out of the earlier 500 SL models, the new SL500 featured many new and innovative ideas for the time such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding rollover bar and a more modern multi-link rear axle.

A fully operating electric hood, windows, door mirrors and seats made this model easy and comfortable to operate.

With powerful engines, stopping power was aided by anti-locking braking for reassurance.

During 1995, a mild facelift was carried out to the model range that included revisions to the headlights, taillights and several new features adopted as standard including side air bags, automatic climate control and ESP.

A special edition of 2001 SL500 and SL600 was made to celebrate the 1930's Silver Arrow race car.

It had a two-tone interior, leather on steering wheel and seats, and special wheels.

Built mainly for the US market...
