The Appeal
The first keeper of this Tellurium Silver SL500 had one goal in mind - to specify it to look like an SL55 AMG. The result was £8,400 of factory options, including an AMG body kit and wheels, plus a long list of comfort-focused extras.
The current keeper has owned it since 2003 and has clearly looked after it well. The paintwork is in good order, and the rare blue leather interior, with its aluminium trim accents, is equally smart. The service history shows a run of main dealer and specialist servicing right up to April 2025. The front and rear brake discs and pads were replaced 3,000 miles ago. The current MOT runs to November 2026 with no advisories.
Quick, comfortable, and with hardtop coupe or open-top convertible options, this is a very usable and nicely presented summer treat.
