Description

This beautiful SL is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Mercedes heritage from their golden era! Perfect timing with summer around the corner you can enjoy the weather with the roof off or through the amazing panoramic roof!

Meticulously maintained with the large folder of a near complete service history dating back 25+ years. Invoices totalling well in advance of 20, 000 thousand pounds. Highlights include stainless steel exhaust recent major service in 2025 changing spark plus and 4 new tyres! This vehicle even has the original tool kit and cassette player. Upgraded Bluetooth headset with updated speakers - the clarity and bass is amazing.

Recent work includes paint correction detail, minor service and MOT.

In the best colour combination for this vehicle with the cream interior for a timeless look. As a later SL5000, it is becoming a classic but is still very useable on a daily basis. The panoramic glass roof transforms it in the winter when most convertibles are tucked up in the garage. From the time when Mercedes build quality was at the top of its game, it has been utterly reliable over my ownership.

Recently went through MOT and a minor service in March 26. This is an amazing opportunity to get into a classic where all major work has been carried out resulting in stress free motoring!

Great cruiser with the added benefit of being a sound investment as these get more rare to find. The 500 is the engine to have with the added power and reliability, the V6 models are just not the same car.
Check the different platforms there's hardly any for sale and low mileage examples are fetching 35k plus.

6 prev owners including me - low for the age and calibre of vehicle!
