The Appeal

The R230-generation SL500 combined a folding aluminium hardtop, Active Body Control suspension and a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 with a 5-speed automatic gearbox. Specified from the factory with the AMG Sport Package, adding a more aggressive front spoiler, side skirts, rear styling treatment and staggered 18-inch AMG wheels, this example cuts a notably sharper figure than the standard car.

Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Black/Anthracite leather with burred walnut trim, this SL500 benefits from a well-documented history. A clean CARFAX report traces the car from its original delivery in Anaheim, California, through ownership in Colorado and on to long-term care in Florida, where it was maintained by both Mercedes-Benz dealerships and marque specialists. Now located in the Netherlands with all import duties and VAT settled, it is ready for European ownership. The seller can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping.
