Auctioneer's Notes:

An increasingly desirable early example of the R129-generation Mercedes-Benz 500SL, finished in metallic Blue over a Cream leather interior and accompanied by its factory hardtop.

The current keeper has owned the car since 2000, with just two owners prior, and the original sales documents survive from each change of ownership, recording a new price of £71,318 in 1990, a sale at £52,130 in 1994 and The Vendor's purchase at £24,390 in 2000.

After 26 years in the same ownership, the car is now offered at No Reserve.

Maintenance & Condition:

The car presents as an honest example with some areas requiring further attention.
