M. O. T. – 12 Months
Odometer – 131, 498
This imposing-looking Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a desirable M119 5. 0-litre V8 model from the acclaimed R129 model line. The vendor describes it as being in good condition throughout, and an odometer reading around 131, 000 miles is nothing for these ultra-robust models built in the ‘proper’ Mercedes way. The car presents extremely well, finished in a fittingly understated dark metallic grey that shows off the clean-cut lines perfectly. This is complemented by gunmetal-colour alloy wheels and the clear front indicator lenses. At the rear, its potency is revealed by quad exhaust tailpipes. The car is fitted with a hard top, with the regular soft-top electronically folded away for summertime.
‘M369PDV’ has been owned by the vendor for the past three years. Comprehensive Mercedes-Benz and specialist service history and has been very well looked after. Also included are the original owner’s manuals for this high-tech and famously very well-equipped machine, and the vendor will give the car a fresh 12-month MOT.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Series was first introduced back in 1954. SL stands for ‘Sport Leicht’, or sport light, and first appeared as a racing car in the early 1950s before it was decided to produce a road-going version too. Always a highly-specialised model that serves as the firm’s range-topping roadster, the Mercedes-Benz SL developed through multiple generations and this R129 series was introduced in 1989 as one of the most advanced new cars in the world. Innovative features extended to a clever automatic rollbar that self-deployed in a rollover event – ensuring it remained safe and secure while also elegant and clean-looking. The interior also helped redefine luxury for sports cars, bringing lots of new technology to the sector.
