Description
The Mercedes-Benz SL has long combined open-top motoring with the refinement, comfort and performance expected of the marque's flagship roadster. Introduced in 2001, the R230 generation brought a folding metal Vario-Roof, sophisticated electronics and an elegantly understated design that remains attractive more than two decades later.This 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is finished in Brilliant Silver metallic over a Black Anthracite leather interior. Beneath the bonnet sits Mercedes-Benz's naturally aspirated 5.0 litre V8 engine, producing approximately 302bhp and driving the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Effortlessly powerful and particularly well suited to long-distance touring, the SL500 offers an appealing blend of sportscar performance and grand-touring comfort.As expected from a flagship Mercedes-Benz, the specification is generous and includes Active Body Control suspension, air conditioning, Parktronic, Bi-Xenon headlamps, cruise control, heated and cooling electrically adjustable seats, power steering, alloy wheels and the electrically operated folding hardtop.The car has covered 121,940 miles and has had just four former keepers. The vendor reports that it drives very well and that everything operates as it should, including the folding roof and adjustable suspension. Importantly, this SL500 is accompanied by an MoT test certificate valid until 18th August 2027, issued with no advisories. With its handsome colour combination, refined V8 performance and highly usable folding hardtop, this represents an accessible opportunity to acquire one of Mercedes-Benz's most accomplished modern grand tourers.
