Description

Marketed on behalf of our client - Arctic White over Blue Leather. 34,250 miles. Supplied with original bill of sale (79,000GBP new in 1991), book pack, and rare rear seats. This classic will go to its next custodian with a fresh MOT and a full service from AutoClass - Mercedes Specialists in Milton Keynes. Step into a time capsule from the last golden age of Mercedes-Benz engineering; the R129-generation 500SL. Presented here in striking Arctic White with a navy blue leather interior and matching soft top, this 1991 example shows just 34,250 miles from new and boasts a full independent service history since 2016. With seven former keepers and nearly a decade of current ownership, it remains in excellent condition and will be sold with a fresh MOT and full service. The car comes complete with original Gullideckel alloy wheels, a desirable rear-seat conversion (supplied at point of sale), and rare factory options including heated seats, air conditioning, cruise control, driver airbag, and electric roll-bar. It's the small touches that make this example sing: the gloss of the walnut trim, the elegant restraint of the factory wheels, and that cavernous V8 burble from the 5.0-litre M119 engine. Delivering 326 bhp through a four-speed automatic, the 500SL could crest 155 mph when new. A blend of performance and luxury that made it an icon of its time. With no accident damage, an unblemished HPI check, service receipts and MOTs online stretching back to 2005, this SL has lived a gently cosseted life averaging just 1,100 miles annually, many of those under current ownership.
