Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL500 5.0 SL500

2005 Mercedes Benz SL 500. Few modern Mercedes-Benz models combine style, presence and engineering prowess as elegantly as the R230-generation SL 500. This particular example, delivered in 2005 and finished in the timeless pairing of Brilliant Silver coachwork with supple grey leather upholstery. Showing a mere 41,000 miles from new, its condition is nothing short of exemplary. Maintained meticulously by Mercedes-Benz main agents and highly regarded marque specialists, the car is accompanied not only by its original stamped service book but also by a substantial file of invoices, bills and records, a reassuring chronicle of careful ownership. The last custodian, an enthusiast with a growing private collection, parted with the car reluctantly only to make space for further acquisitions. Specification is exactly as the discerning driver would wish. A panoramic glass roof bathes the cabin in light, while the factory COMAND system provides satellite navigation and effortless control. Automatic climate regulation ensures year-round comfort, and Mercedes-Benz’s acclaimed ABC sports suspension delivers the perfect balance of supple ride and precise handling. Completing the picture are handsome eighteen-inch alloy wheels, perfectly proportioned beneath the car’s sculptural lines. The five-litre V8 is the beating heart of this SL 500: smooth, refined and effortlessly powerful, it transforms the car from a relaxed grand tourer into a spirited performer at a mere press of the throttle. With the fully automatic folding roof, the SL’s dual character is irresistible refined coupé one moment, glamorous open roadster the next. With early SLs such as the R107 now commanding significant premiums, the R230 is poised to follow the same trajectory, and few examples offer the combination of low mileage, impeccable history and lovely presentation found here. Offered with a fresh MOT upon sale, this outstanding motor car is ready to delight its next custodian, whether as a jewel in a collection or as an elegant companion on the open road. Opportunities to acquire such low mileage SL 500’s are increasingly rare. This is not merely a car; it is a statement of taste, discernment and appreciation for one of Mercedes-Benz’s most accomplished modern classics. Come and see for yourself, any inspection welcome!
