** GP MOTORS | CARS CHOSEN FIRST AND FOREMOST OUT OF PASSION** If there exists a ** Mercedes-Benz SL** capable of perfectly embodying the concept of a timeless Grand Tourer, it's this one: ** SL 500 R230**, equipped with the legendary ** naturally aspirated 5. 0-litre V8 with 306 bhp**, a refined, dependable engine still capable today of delivering silky power delivery accompanied by an unmistakably Mercedes sound. The example we're offering is simply extraordinary: ** just 79, 000 km**, preserved with almost obsessive care, presenting itself ** as good as new** from every angle. A car that immediately conveys the feeling of having been loved, cherished and maintained without any compromise. ** As testament to the care it has received over the years, the car has always been regularly serviced at the official Mercedes-Benz network.** The bodywork displays its most elegant ** Silver "Silver Arrow"**, probably the colour that best represents the sporting heritage of the Stuttgart Star. An iconic shade that enhances every line of the R230, accentuating its timeless appeal and the perfect balance between sportiness and elegance. A colour that never goes out of fashion and that makes this SL simply majestic. Opening the door, you're welcomed by a cabin of superior quality, embellished with the exceptionally rare ** Exclusive smooth grey medium Nappa leather interior**, one of the most sought-after configurations available at the time. Quite different from the classic hammered leather fitted to most R230 SLs, this fine Nappa leather distinguishes itself through its perfectly smooth surface, extraordinary softness to the touch and a quality perceptible at first glance. A detail that lends the cabin timeless elegance and that exclusive atmosphere typical of the most prestigious Mercedes-Benz models. The retractable hard roof transforms this SL from an elegant coupé to a refined roadster in just seconds, allowing you to enjoy every journey with maximum comfort in any season. The automatic gearbox complements the powerful V8 perfectly, delivering smooth, relaxing and quiet driving when you want to cruise, yet ready to show all the character of the five-litre Mercedes when you press the accelerator pedal. This is not simply an SL R230. It's one of the last examples from an era when Mercedes-Benz built cars thinking of quality first rather than numbers. Materials, finishes, build quality and comfort remain a benchmark to this day. Finding one in these conditions, with just ** 79, 000 km**, in the timeless ** Silver Arrow Silver**, with the exceptionally rare ** Exclusive smooth grey medium Nappa leather interior** and a ** complete official Mercedes-Benz maintenance history**, is an increasingly rare opportunity. A car destined to retain its appeal over the years and to deliver emotion every time you open the garage. ** For those seeking one of the most elegant and successful Mercedes ever built, this is simply the right choice.** ** Primary vehicle data** MERCEDES-BENZ SL 500 Production date: 13/ 02/ 2002 Exterior colour / Paint code: 744 (Brilliant silver - metallic paint) Upholstery colour code: 500 (Exclusive leather) 501 (Exclusive leather - black / anthracite) ** Vehicle optional equipment list** * 207 DISTRONIC PRO ACTIVE FUNCTION * 220 REVERSE PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM 222B COOLANT/ FUEL LEVEL WARNING BADGE * 289 WOOD/ LEATHER STEERING WHEEL * 352 COMAND APS (WITH NAVIGATION), COMAND CONTROL AND DISPLAY SYSTEM * 391 COLLECTION AND DELIVERY SERVICE * 401 HEATED FRONT SEATS * 423 5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION * 481 UNDERBODY PROTECTION * 487 ABC SUSPENSION (ACTIVE BODY CONTROL) * 500 ELECTRICALLY RETRACTABLE EXTERIOR MIRROR * 500A EXCLUSIVE LEATHER * 501A EXCLUSIVE LEATHER - BLACK / ANTHRACITE * 614 BIXENON HEADLIGHTS, RIGHT-HAND TRAFFIC CIRCULATION * 673 UPRATED BATTERY * 726 CENTRE CONSOLE - GLOSSY BLACK IMD SYNTHETIC MATERIAL (2C00) * 731 WALNUT BURL WOOD TRIM ELEMENTS * 744U BRILLIANT SILVER - METALLIC PAINT * 802 MODEL YEAR X1/ 1 * 810 PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM * 819 SOUND2LIGHT * 854 MULTIMEDIA ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FOR REAR PASSENGERS PLUS * 860 FRONT PASSENGER DISPLAY * 875 HEATED WINDSCREEN WASHER SYSTEM * 882 ALARM SYSTEM SENSORS AND SIREN ANTI-THEFT/ ANTI-BREAK-IN SYSTEM * 889 KEYLESS-GO * 983 COC TECHNICAL DOCUMENT EURO -7 STANDARD - WITHOUT REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE PART 2 * F230 230 SERIES * GA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION * HA REAR AXLE * L LEFT-HAND DRIVE * M113 V8 OTTO CYCLE ENGINE M113 * M50 5. 0-LITRE DISPLACEMENT * VL LEFT-HAND FRONT SEMI-AXLE * VR RIGHT-HAND FRONT SEMI-AXLE View, test drive, pay and collect the vehicle ** even on the same day**.
