History & Condition
The car has effectively had just two lady owners from new. Although the registration history may show an additional owner, it was originally purchased through my friend's late husb&'s company & was transferred into her name when he retired in 2008. I loved the car from the day one & because of its low mileage & meticulous maintenance, I asked for first refusal & successfully purchased the car from her in October 2012.
I have now owned & driven this superb SL500 for 14 years, using it daily & maintaining it throughout. I still adore the car, but a newer model has now turned my head.
78,500 miles supported by a complete MOT history. For a 22-year-old car, it presents extremely well, the interior & exterior both in excellent condition & all electrical equipment working.
Original Equipment & Documentation including:-

Complete original boot & spare-wheel equipment

Honest Points to Note
There are a few age-related imperfections, reflected in the asking price:
Small tear to the lower rear section of the driver's seat
Small paint bubble on the boot lid near the rear window
Slight distortion around the edges of the driver's door mirror glass, typical of the original oil-filled type
Some paint peeling on the nearside wheel
I mention these simply to give a prospective buyer an honest picture of the car, as it probably requires a true SL500/R230 enthusiast to appreciate this genuine, excellent, well-cared-for example with long-term ownership & fully documented.
Viewing highly recommended.
