Detailed Walkaround
Here at Old Colonel Cars, the Classic and Performance Car Agency, we have this absolutely exceptional example of the Mercedes R129 SL 500.
This 1999 example has covered only 76,000 Miles.
This is one of the sought after, second facelift models, with all the improvements, including the latest, M113 5.0 V8 engine.
The paintwork on this example is immaculate, finished in Azurit Blue Metallic paintwork , recently professionally detailed and protected, its ready to show or grace any collection.
Inside, it comes with the Light Grey, soft leather interior, complimented by the wood trim. Again this is in outstanding condition, the leather has a real quality fee to it.
The original hard top is just as good, the glass Panoramic roof is a lovely extra.
The Mercedes alloys continue the theme, all unmarked …
See the last pictures on our website advert, underneath this car is just as good, a rust free, solid example.
Please see the detailed walkaround videos on the top of our website advert, to see how good this SL500 is.
This R129 benefits from an excellent, Mercedes main dealer or specialist history from new.
It comes with all the original manuals, a fully stamped original service book, along with an amazing folder of paperwork.
The current owner knows how to look after his cars. He took it to the renowned Classic Mercedes specialist, John Haynes. He asked the garage to service the car and perform a full check over. Following 3 visits to the John Haynes, after spending over £4000, all recommended jobs were completed, car was serviced and the soft top was treated to new straps and a full check over.
So as you can expect, not only does this example present perfectly, it drives and performs perfectly.
More attention to detail, a very expensive, period looking stereo was fitted (period looking but with all modern connectivity), all the speakers behind the grills were replaced, the sound quality has been vastly improved..
