  • Finished in Amber Red with a complementing Pebble interior

  • Offered with owner's wallet, handbooks and service book

Finished in Amber Red with a complementing Pebble interior, this SL500 was first registered on 1st March 2003. A Mercedes-Benz Club member, the vendor became the third owner in 2016. Showing some 102,000 miles to its odometer, the car boasts a generous amount of standard equipment plus eleven factory options including: 5-spoke 18” alloys, comfort dynamic massage multi-function seats - with hot and cold settings, Bose Premium Sound.

A well-maintained example and subject to an oil and filter change this year, there’s an MOT in place until 20th January 2025 and with ‘no advisories’. Servicing during current ownership has included: 101k oil service; 99k A service; 91k B service plus gearbox and transmission service; 70k B service; 63k new ABC pump fitted; 56k gearbox service. The vendor advises the mid-section catalytic converters have been removed and replaced with straight pipes. Although fitted originally with the keyless go system, this was disconnected some years ago to cure an electrical issue, and the remote fob now works only via the driver's door, which was an acceptable solution for the current owner.

Offered with the owner’s wallet, handbooks and service book, there is an extensive service history with all invoices since new, sales literature, the original sales invoice, all old MOTs and a current V5C document. We are informed mechanically, the car drives ‘very well’ with ‘no issues’.
