This 1990-manufactured 500 SL, a righthand drive two-door with the benefit of an electric soft-top as well as a factory hardtop, has only had three previous owners one of whom was the Chairman of Superdrug. The vendor believes the 78,000 miles displayed when entered to be the genuine total from new. Servicing has been carried out by Mercedes-Benz dealers or marque specialists approximately every 6000 miles, there being thirteen service stamps in the maintenance book to confirm the mileage.
The bodywork, claimed to be in very good condition, is finished in Azurite Blue metallic with matching exterior trim panels, bumpers and steel hardtop with heated rear window and dark blue electric soft top. The air-conditioned interior with electric windows has full leather trim in mushroom, also said to be very good, and a rear seat, the front seats being electrically-adjustable, memory-equipped and heated. The 5-litre eight-cylinder engine and four-speed automatic transmission are reportedly in very good order. The car has ABS, traction control, headlamp wash-wipe and is shod with 18ins AMG-style five-hole alloys.
Potential buyers should be aware that the MBZ 5051 registration was scheduled by the vendor to be changed to a period-correct H plate and, if achieved by sale day, the new V5 as well as the MOT test certificate, the latter duly amended to reflect the new number, may be available for inspection among the vehicle's paperwork in the documents office at Buxton.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
