Mercedes-Benz 500SL – Solid Example, Priced Accordingly
Please note: I am not interested in offers. This is already a very competitively priced 500SL, reflecting the cosmetic work required. If it doesn’t sell, I’ll have it resprayed over the winter.
111, 000 miles
6 former keepers
MOT valid until 6th August 2026
Supplied with desirable red hardtop
Genuine Mercedes 18" Monoblock alloy wheels
Recent Maintenance:
January 2026: New camshaft oil seal
March 2025: New spark plugs and rotor caps
Summer 2024: Full set of lower arms replaced and wheel alignment completed
Summer 2023: Underside professionally cleaned, new front and rear brakes, brake fluid flush, and replacement ASR unit
Condition:
Mechanically, the car is excellent — it drives faultlessly and all components function exactly as they should. Structurally very solid.
Cosmetically, it requires bodywork and a full respray. There is also rust present beneath the doors on the lower inner sections, as expected for a car of this age. The paintwork is likely more faded around the rear than it appears in the photos.
There is an intermittent clicking noise from behind the passenger side of the dashboard. It comes and goes and is likely related to a climate control flap.
Reason for Sale:
Selling on behalf of my father, who is finding it increasingly difficult to get in and out of the vehicle. Solid clean example that just needs a lick of paint.
