The Appeal
Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the 300 SL Roadster (launched in 1957), Mercedes-Benz marked the occasion with a special edition of its current SL - the Bruno Sacco-designed R129. The V8-engined SL500 model was chosen and fittingly, just 500 were built of which only 50 were right-hand drive like this one. These cars came fully loaded with just about every optional available including 18" AMG alloys, a panoramic glass hard top, Xenon headlamps and much, much more.
The 1998 example in Designo-Variocolour Blue over Grey leather has been lovingly maintained by its current owner for the five years plus that they've owned it. The last four MOT tests have all been passed first time with no MOT advisories, with the current MOT valid until May 2025. The vendor has refreshed several areas of the car both mechanically and cosmetically, ensuring it continues to look fantastic and drive very well indeed.
