About this car

This 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is an R129, the generation that paired a folding roof with a V8 and a reputation for solid build quality. The SL500 was the sweet spot of the range, with a smooth automatic gearbox and a relaxed grand-touring character.

It is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (744) over black leather (261), a classic combination for the model. The odometer shows 57,258 miles, which is low for a car approaching 30 years old.

The dealer says it has been serviced and MoT'd as required and has a workshop inspection report. It is also covered by a 24-month warranty. The car is exempt from the ULEZ charge.
