Comes with window sticker and Mercedes-Benz datacard
Seller can assist with worldwide transport and shipping
The Appeal
The R129-generation SL has earned a strong reputation as one of Mercedes-Benz's most refined and capable grand tourers. The SL500, powered by a smooth 5.0-litre V8, occupies the sweet spot of the range — delivering strong performance without the added complexity of the V12. This 1999 example benefits from the later facelift revisions, including Electronic Stability Program and the updated interior.
Finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over Saffron Nappa Leather with a Java fabric soft top, this SL500 is well-equipped from the factory with Xenon HID headlights, heated front seats, and the Bose Acoustimass sound system, alongside burl hardwood interior trim. Originally delivered in the USA, it has since been imported to the Netherlands with all duties and VAT paid, ready for registration. The vendor can also assist with worldwide transport and shipping.SL500 R129 (5).jpg4.75 MB
