SUMMARY
A fabulous UK-market example of the range-topping 500SL in classic summer colours and complete with matching hardtop.
DESCRIPTION
- Supplied in Artic White with matching hardtop and grey hide by Mercedes-Benz main agents Normand-Cruickshank Ltd of Bristol
- Initially registered to the first of four former keepers on 10/03/1987, one of whom kept the car for 20 years
- Supplied with SL Shop receipts totalling some £4,300 between 2022 and 2023 for maintenance works and servicing
- Last serviced in March 2022 by the SL Shop, our vendor has covered some 600 sunny miles since for a total of 52,192 miles (at time of cataloguing)
- The history file is a delight, with historic receipts, previous ownership records, handbooks and service book
- An advisory free MOT Certificate valid until March 2025 complements the older certificates on file
- The perfect choice for those who want 1980s top-down V8 motoring without the price tag or histrionics of the 500SL's more exotic period contemporaries
