.. Fanatical collector owner . Concourse condition throughout, unmarked Tellur Silver/ Blue coachwork, Pacific blue leather , 31 k miles , two previous owners (21 years ) first the husband and then , on his death , the car was registered to his wife. Massage/ heated / cooled / memory seats, Burr walnut wood and leather pack, keyless entry and go ( Two cards both work perfectly) , Distronic, Cruise control, Parktronic, Bose, Lingutronic, fire extinguisher, comfort seats , Nokia phone pack, Headlamp washers, Mercedes over mats from new…. the main carpets are as new . I am an avid collector and bought this beautiful one off condition car off of an old clients wife when he had sadly passed . The car was originally ordered from “ Tony Purslow” main Mercedes agent and the previous owner travelled to the factory to take delivery of the car.
They used the car very sparingly , hence the low mileage, using it mainly to travel to their holiday home in France. I have the original order form and invoice, original service book with Eight stamps from the supplying dealer last serviced by them 04/ 07/ 22. When I bought the car I immediately sent it to TM motors ( Top Mercedes special service centre) and asked them to go through the car completely. The invoice was £921. 00 for a service, air filter , brake fluid replacement, gearbox oil and filter and the ultra Important ABC flush and replacement oil and a new consumer battery.
Following that it went to “Evolution detailing “ for a complete interior and exterior detailing and ceramic coating to the coach work. The leather was cleaned , fed and treated for stain resistance.
The rear wheel arches , always a problem area with these , are Perfect.
At the same time I had the wheels stripped, re powder coated, new Center caps, tyre valve caps and new wheel nuts.
The last MOT 23/ 11/ 23 was carried without any advisory items.
I have the two original keys and keyless cards , original service book and book pack a bunch of paperwork including service invoices and MOTs . The roof works perfectly , opening and closing . All the rubber seals throughout the car have been fastidiously cleaned and are regularly treated . The boot is totally dry and the carpets unmarked. It’s always been garaged and nurtured and it shows. I doubt, short of finding one in a museum, you will ever see one in this condition with this provenance…it’s a one off opportunity for the most selective of enthusiasts.
 It truly is the best you will see and wants for nothing.
I am located close to Chichester in West Sussex .
Please call me for any further questions you may have and I will answer them truthfully.
Any inspection welcome.

It’s the finest you will see.
Pace , provenance and it’s a 500 SL.
