Mercedes-Benz SL500, that needs little introduction. This is the desirable updated model with the more powerful 388bhp engine and refined seven-speed gearbox — widely regarded as the best version of the R230 a modern classic that will surely appreciate in value in the coming years 

Having covered only 61,000 miles from new, this is a very low-mileage example that has been well cared for throughout its life. The car starts, runs and drives excellently throughout. The V8 pulls strongly and effortlessly, while the 7G-Tronic gearbox changes smoothly through every ratio.

Just had 2 brand new brake callipers, brake pads, couple of ball joints for its mot, prior to this it was off the road for a few months due to a bereavement so it’s been freshened up ready for someone to enjoy again, also must note that the service history book and folder of receipts were misplaced during this time as it was separate from the original book pack which was in the glove box, had a fresh service and abc service the end of last year but have no paperwork to prove this unfortunately, comes with original book pack inc owners manual etc. 

The electric retractable hardtop roof works perfectly, raising and lowering as it should every time. Every function, switch and button on the car operates exactly as intended.

• The driver's side rear wheel arch which is the worst of them has rust/bubbling as is quite common on the r320 it can be seen in a couple of the photos, the other arches are good with the odd little bubble of paint, other than that the stunning telerium silver paintwork is great and really stands out it different lights etc
