About this car

The R230-generation SL500 pairs a 5.0-litre V8 with a folding Vario hardtop and Active Body Control suspension, and it was priced at close to £100,000 when new. This 2003 car is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over Slate Grey perforated leather with Burl Walnut trim.

At 72,500 miles it is a low-mileage example for its age. Equipment includes heated and ventilated memory seats with massage, a BOSE sound system, COMAND navigation with Linguatronic voice control, Keyless Go and Parktronic sensors.

The seller lists extensive service history and invoices, factory build sheets, the original handbook pack and both keys. It has had a recent service and new batteries, and carries an MOT to July 2026 with no advisories. The seven-spoke alloys wear nearly new Continental SportContact 5P tyres.
