*Many factory extras including limited-slip differential and air-conditioning
*Hardtop included
With just over 58,000 miles on the clock this 500SL is barely run in, and with a comprehensive service history (13 services recorded in the book) there is clearly many years and miles of life ahead. 'Fully loaded', options fitted include heat-insulating glass, anti-lock brakes, electrically-adjustable passenger door mirror, air-conditioning and a limited-slip differential. Coming from a private collection the bodywork and metallic green paint are in good condition, as are the 'Mexican hat' alloy wheels. The interior is finished in green and presents in very good order and typically for one of these models shows little sign of wear. Mechanically all is in very good condition, the engine starting and running well and the transmission, brakes and steering in the same order. Coming with service history and a factory hardtop, this pleasing 500SL should amply delight its new owner.
