Description
1987 Mercedes Benz 500SL 5.0 V8 R129
HIGHLIGHTS:
An appealing example of the revered R129 generation, this Mercedes-Benz 500SL is presented in Almandine Red Metallic with a beige leather interior. Inside, the car retains its hallmark Mercedes-Benz refinement, complemented by wood trim, electric front seats with memory, and a Pioneer multimedia system.
Sitting on a set of Lorinser alloy wheels, this 500SL carries an understated yet sporty stance, while exterior features such as the headlamp washer system remain intact. Inside, the leather seats present neatly, underlining the car’s well-kept condition.
Offered in running order and showing 49,264 miles on the odometer, the car is sold as is accompanied by its removable hardtop, though the black fabric soft top is currently inoperative. Cosmetic imperfections include minor paint peel and a small scratch on the rear bumper, leaving scope for refinement by its next custodian.
With its unmistakable V8 performance, classic specification, and elegant presentation, this 500SL represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a well-specified example of the celebrated R129 series.
