About this car

The 500SL sits at the top of the UK-market R107 range, with a 5.0-litre V8 and an automatic gearbox. This 1986 car is finished in Nautical Blue (929) over grey leather (278), a combination that remains one of the more sought-after on the model.

It has covered just 34,500 miles, which is very low for a car approaching 40 years old. Specification includes a limited-slip differential, cruise control, rear seats, 15-inch alloy wheels and a dark blue fabric hood.

The history folder holds the original book pack, with the service book stamped up to 2015, and a file of invoices for maintenance since, including several from SLSHOP. The dealer reports the paint and chrome in excellent order and little wear inside. The car is ULEZ exempt and is sold with a 24-month warranty.
