Introduced at the September 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230-series of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running SL range remained in production for ten years. Arguably the most accomplished two-seater Grand Tourer of its generation, the newcomer offered a blend of performance, ride, handling and refinement that few, if any, rivals could match. Initial flagship before the arrival of the AMG models, the SL500 was powered by a 5-litre V8 engine allied to five-speed automatic transmission. With some 302bhp / 339lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 155mph (limited).
Finished in Brilliant Silver with Dark Grey leather upholstery and Burr Walnut veneers, ‘MX54 OSU’ is warranted to have covered a mere 53,000 miles from new. Riding on 18-inch AMG alloy wheels, the Mercedes-Benz also boasts Active Body Control suspension, COMAND, electric / memory seats, air-conditioning and a multi-disc CD player. Taking some fourteen seconds to go from open to closed (or vice versa), its ingenious ‘Vario Roof’ retractable hardtop gives year round practicality. Offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, numerous invoices and assorted MOTs including one valid until April 2026.
