Our vendor, a gentleman, private collector and Mercedes-Benz enthusiast made initial enquiries to his local official agent to place an order of the new SL in 1998. Finally, in February 2000, Mercedes confirmed he would be the 3rd customer to receive the new SL. The official order was placed on 30th October 2002 specified in the very tasteful combination of Obsidian Black Metallic paintwork with Berry Red leather interior. Options included; parking sensors, panoramic roof, 5-spoke alloys, Bose sound system and Nokia phone kit. Another option ticked was to personally collect the SL from the Mercedes-Benz factory in Germany and fond memories are recalled driving back across Europe with the roof down and music up.

Today, this beautiful SL 500 presents very nicely and has covered just over 53,000 miles from new. The service history starts at initial enquiries with the intention to purchase, through to original purchase order and finally, the most recent service in November 2019 @53,229 miles. Accompanying the car is the original Mercedes-Benz book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date at regular intervals by main agent or specialist garages also supported by paper invoices. Original sales brochures are present with old MOTs, current V5c and current MoT valid until August 2021.

In summary here is a very good opportunity to take ownership of a luxurious and comfortable sports car, from an era when Mercedes-Benz build quality was particularly excellent. A fine example backed up by a comprehensive history in superb colours. Rarely do these brilliant Roadsters come to market from single ownership with such unquestionable provenance.
