SL500 in metallic dark blue (Azurite) with matching blue leather interior (Lapis) and black hood. 74,750 miles. Original 'monkar' alloys (refurbished 2021, so unmarked) with new Pirelli tyres. Beautiful car, cherished and always garaged and covered. Hard top stand for summer. Fully maintained and serviced by SM Autocare of Pickering (Mercedes specialists). Last serviced March 2024. New MOT March 2024. The car has undergone a program of preventative maintenance including new suspension arms and mounts, brakes and discs, new cats, lots of struts, pans and clips, new track rods, new filters and fluids, new alternator and regulator, new battery and more (all recorded). Drives perfectly. Hood is raised and lowered repeatedly in summer and has never missed a beat. Potential buyers are welcome to speak to SM Autocare about the car. The car was imported from Japan, which some people like as they tend to be rust-free and have less wear and tear. As a Japanese car, it has no rear seats (they didn't have them in the SL500) and it has the Bose sound system. The bodywork on this car is excellent with no signs of rust at all. The car is in very good condition. There are some additional things that an R129 enthusiast might want to do to the car to bring it up to show condition. The radio is a blaupunkt (from the 90s) but is not original to the car. There are a couple of stone chips on the bonnet (not really visible but they are there). The mats are not original R129 mats. It also has the sports grill (three vent) rather than the standard 6 vent, which I prefer, but which an R129 purist might want to replace (although it is original to this vehicle). The black hood itself is in very good condition but the plastic windows have clouded over time, so could be replaced, although obviously not an issue when the hood is down or hard top on. Located near York but could arrange for viewing/test drive anywhere between York and Crewe (so Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield) or between York and Cambridge (so Lincoln, Nottingham, Peterborough).
