The Appeal

The R230-generation SL500 represented a significant leap forward for Mercedes-Benz's flagship roadster. Its electrohydraulic retractable aluminium hardtop, Active Body Control suspension, and potent 5.0-litre V8 made it one of the most technologically advanced grand tourers of its era. The addition of the factory AMG Sport Package, with its distinctive bodywork, 18-inch AMG alloy wheels, and mixed-size high-performance tyres, elevated the SL500's road presence and dynamic capability further still.

This example wears Amber Red Metallic paintwork over Beige leather and benefits from a well-equipped factory specification including Bi-Xenon headlamps, KEYLESS-GO, tyre pressure monitoring, COMAND navigation, and the Bose premium sound system. Originally supplied new to the US market at a retail price of $95,600, it has since been imported to Europe via the Netherlands with all duties and VAT paid. The odometer shows 45,794 miles, and the engine is confirmed as matching numbers.
