Vendor supplied images

Highlights

  • Just two former registered keepers
  • MOT valid until December 2024
  • Twelve stamps in the original maintenance book and last serviced at 119,108
  • Low mileage for an executive saloon of this age
  • High factory specification
  • For sale as the collector owner isn’t getting the time to drive and enjoy this car as he would like or it deserves.

The Appeal

Back in 2003, you had to part with over £80,000 of your hard-earned cash for an S500. That was, (and indeed still is), a lot of money -  but you got a lot of car.
Two decades on, here’s a fantastic opportunity for anyone who missed out the first time round. Or maybe you had an S500 and now regret selling - (you won’t be the only one)! This three keeper example is in very good condition and has relatively few miles on the odometer for an executive saloon of this age. It’s highly specified with a raft of desirable options and comes complete with twelve service stamps and a long MOT.
