The Appeal
The R129 remains one of the most iconic Mercedes-Benz roadsters in the marque's history, and thanks to its impressive 5.0-litre V8 powerplant, the 500SL is one of the best-loved in the lineage. This late-production example, finished in Azure metallic blue over cream leather, is a particularly fine ambassador.
Having passed through just three former registered keepers and showing 46,801 miles on the odometer, this highly original car will be accompanied by a brand new MOT and is ready and waiting to go. It's sure to garner plenty of interest at auction. image.png1.55 MB
