The Mercedes-Benz 500 SL from the R129 generation combines classic Mercedes-Benz luxury with a powerful V8, automatic transmission and the exceptional build quality for which this generation is renowned.

This example was first registered on 8 October 1992 and is finished in Anthracite Grey. The car has an indicated mileage of 180,014 km and is equipped with a 4,973 cc V8. The engine was replaced by a unit with 117,000 km. It is a European car, delivered new in Germany, and comes with its hardtop.

This 500 SL is especially interesting for someone who wants to enjoy a classic V8 without immediately looking for a perfect example. The car shows visible signs of use and is fitted with non-original wheels, but it represents an interesting mechanical basis. It can either be enjoyed as it is or gradually improved and brought back closer to its original appearance.
