Description
This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Classic Car Sale at Stoneleigh Park 2024 on Saturday the 28th of September, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, CV8 2LG.
In production for 13 years, the R129 SL probably did more than any other to create the hewn-from-solid reputation Mercedes then enjoyed
The 500SL (SL500 from 1994) was the flagship of the range and was powered by the M119 5-litre, 32-valve V8 generating 322bhp
This example has covered 77, 551 miles since being registered in 1998, although it presents so nicely that you’d believe it’s done significantly less
Finished in Obsidian Black (197) with the first owner also specifying the interior be covered in black leather (231)
Supplied with a matching hardtop, a wind deflector, and an aftermarket Alpine stereo head unit
Lots of receipts and paperwork from both main dealers and independent specialists testifying to the fact that its previous owners have spared no expense on care and maintenance
A fine-looking SL 500 that’s in good overall condition but would benefit from a few minor jobs – wheel refurbishment, full paintwork polish and a hood clean - and guided accordingly
We welcome your inspection at our Stoneleigh sale to appreciate the quality on offer
