Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R129) 5.0 V8 Auto - 15,000 miles - 1 Owner Early pre-facelift Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R129) fitted with the highly desirable M119 quad-cam V8, widely regarded as one of Mercedes-Benz's finest engines. A flagship model at launch, combining advanced safety engineering with genuine long-distance usability. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with blue leather interior, retaining its original blue soft top and factory hardtop, both in excellent condition. Presented on original Gullideckel alloy wheels and complete with fully functioning Becker Mexico radio. A correct, well-preserved example with strong originality throughout. The 5.0-litre V8 produces 322bhp, delivering 0-62mph in around 6.4 seconds with a limited top speed of 155mph. Power delivery is smooth and progressive, with a quiet, unstrained character at any speed. Four-speed automatic transmission offers refined, unobtrusive shifts, while the chassis provides a composed, stable feel, particularly suited to high-speed touring. Suspension balances control and comfort effectively, with strong braking performance from four-wheel discs with ABS. One owner from new and just 15,000 miles set this car apart. As an early M119-equipped example in a desirable colour combination, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, unrestored R129 with collector appeal. Supplied with 12 months MOT and 3 months warranty, with options to extend. UK delivery and part exchange available. Viewings by appointment.
