Description

Offered for sale is an exceptionally well‑preserved 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 (R129) in the elegant and rare color combination Smoke Silver Metallic (7020) over Nappa Leather Safran (234A). This SL is in outstanding overall condition and clearly belongs in the collector category.

The car remains in 100% original first paint, is accident‑free, and has a fully documented mileage of only 59,000 km (36,900 miles). A spotless Carfax report with 15 service entries and 24 recorded mileage readings confirms the vehicle’s authenticity and history.

Originally delivered and owned by Mercedes-Benz Beverly Hills, the SL had only two private owners thereafter. Since 2003, it was owned by a couple in Santa Barbara and used exclusively as a fourth vehicle, resulting in its remarkably low mileage and exceptional preservation.
