Description
This Mercedes-Benz 500SL, newly delivered in America, is in exceptional condition and is an excellent choice for any car enthusiast and collector, thanks in part to its low mileage and impeccable presentation. With its timeless design and superb German craftsmanship, this car exudes pure class and elegance.
Appearance and Condition:
Bodywork: The bodywork is in impeccable condition, with no scratches, dents, or other damage. The original paint still shines as if the car just came out of the showroom.
Interior: The interior is in excellent condition, with original leather upholstery that shows hardly any signs of wear. The woodwork and chrome accents are well-preserved and contribute to the luxurious appearance.
Wheels and Tires: The aftermarket wheels are in excellent condition and fitted with tires that still have plenty of tread.
Technical Specifications:
Engine: The powerful V8 engine runs smoothly and delivers impressive performance, as you would expect from a Mercedes-Benz.
Mileage: With a very low mileage of just 57, 000 miles, this 500SL is barely broken in and offers many years of driving pleasure.
Transmission: The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and without any issues.
Maintenance Needs:
After a period of inactivity, this 500SL deserves some attention in terms of maintenance to be fully operational again:
Roof Hydraulics: The hydraulic systems for opening and closing the roof need to be checked and possibly repaired. This is a common maintenance point after a longer period of inactivity, but once restored, the roof functions like new.
General Inspection: A full technical inspection and possible replacement of fluids (oil, brake fluid, etc.) to ensure the car is in top condition again.
History and Documentation:
Maintenance History: The complete maintenance history is available, including all booklets and documentation.
Previous Owners: The history of the previous owners is also available, contributing to the transparency and reliability of the car. The Carfax is also available, confirming the mileage.
This 500SL offers a unique opportunity to own a classic car that can be restored to its full glory with a little care and attention. Perfect for the collector or enthusiast looking for a car with character and history.
