Description
Showing just 81,973 miles; powered by the
superb 5.0-litre (4,966cc) V8 engine paired with a 5-speed automatic
gearbox
First
registered in January 2003, this Mercedes-Benz SL500 is powered by the superb
5.0-litre (4,966cc) V8 engine paired with a 5-speed automatic gearbox, offering
the effortless performance, refinement and long-distance cruising ability for
which the model is renowned.
Introduced in 2001, the R230-generation SL
represented a major technological leap for Mercedes-Benz. Featuring the
innovative folding aluminum Vario-Roof, it offered the refinement and security
of a coupé with the enjoyment of open-top motoring at the touch of a button. The
SL500 sat at the heart of the range, combining smooth V8 power with impressive
comfort, advanced technology and understated luxury, characteristics that
continue to make these cars highly desirable modern classics
today.
Finished
in bright metallic silver with a grey leather interior, the cabin is further
enhanced by elegant Burr Walnut trim, creating the luxurious environment
expected of Mercedes-Benz's flagship roadster. Showing just 81,973 miles, this
well-presented example has clearly been enjoyed as intended, with the vendor
advising that it recently completed a 1,500-mile European road trip with
ease.
The
accompanying history includes a V5C registration document and a service record
containing eight service stamps.
A stylish and capable grand tourer with proven
touring credentials, this SL500 is offered ready for its next
adventure.
PLEASE NOTE:
the folding roof system does operate as can be seen in the video, however whilst
on site the roof has on occasion chosen to stop halfway through its operation. A
charge or disconnection of the battery has gotten it working again, currently
the roof is in the open position for the viewing days. In addition to this the
parking brake release handle is not attached to the release
cable.
