Description
Classic Car Design brings you this beautiful Mercedes 500 SL convertible. While many US imports can be found on the market, despite its mls counter, this example stands out because it is a European model ordered from Cologne. Only the 380, 450 and 560 V8s were destined for the US market. It's a "mid-generation" model from 1983, so it's already fitted with ABS, cruise control and air conditioning! Outside, the bodywork is in perfect condition, with no dents or scratches. The darker grey lower fascia further refines the lines. The chromework is very attractive, and the various rubber protectors are not very pronounced or deformed. The black manual soft top is in very good overall condition. Characteristic of the SL, the car is of course fitted with a hard top in a style similar to that of earlier Pagodas. Inside, black is omnipresent - it's Germanic rigour! The imitation leather seats are in perfect condition. Equipped with a rear bench, it seats 4 in carte-grise. The carpets are beautiful and show no pronounced wear. The dashboard is attractive and free of distortion. All the equipment works, including the original Becker Mexico cassette radio! Mechanically, the biggest engine of the time is at the front of this "little" Mercedes, the 5. 0-litre V8. A big engine and a small body: the magic recipe for a high-performance car! Nevertheless, the comfortable character of the Mercedes of the time is still very much in evidence. The gearbox and suspension are smooth and supple. You'd think you were a star behind the wheel: it was a veritable icon of the small and big screen in the 80s! You'll see it in the series Dallas or The Beverly Hills Cop, for example. The reputation of Mercedes is well established, the SL is the perfect convertible to use without moderation in summer as well as in winter thanks to its hard-top ...
