Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a well-maintained classic with a recent gearbox refurbishment and comprehensive service history. It features desirable options like a panoramic hardtop and comes with a choice of two sets of wheels, though it has some minor cosmetic imperfections and requires an A/C re-gas.
Condition
7
The car is described as being in fantastic condition with no dings or dents, and the paintwork is even and consistent. The panoramic hardtop is in near-perfect condition, and the soft top was recently replaced. However, there are some minor issues such as stone chips on the bonnet, headlight units needing a buff and clean, slight wear to the driver's seat bolster, and some warping of the wood trim around the electric seat switches. The MOT also picked up some surface corrosion underneath, which has been treated.
