With just 2 former keepers recorded and having covered only c.60,800 miles from new, this 500SL presents extremely well and benefits from an extensive dealer service history (last serviced in March this year) and factory hardtop. Finished in Red with Mushroom interior, the car has always been garaged in the current ownership and is accompanied by a Swansea V5, current MoT to February 2026, and history file including extensive receipts and past MoT certificates.
The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar, and front airbags. The SL 500 featured a 5.0 V8 producing 326bhp, with 0-62mph in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. The model featured many innovations, including electronically-controlled damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar, and multi-link rear axle. There was also a fully electric package of electric roof, windows, door mirrors, and seats, making ownership luxurious and stress-free with easy to operate equipment.
