This Mercedes-Benz S500 is a well-presented example of the comfortable W140-era saloon, boasting a handsome and desirable specification. It is powered by a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, developing around 235 kW and 346lb-ft of torque, which is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. The car is noted to have had four owners from new. The odometer displays 133,194 kilometres from new. This S500 was specified in elegant Brilliant Silver Metallic paintwork over a blue leather-trimmed interior, accented with walnut trims on the dashboard, doors panels, and gear selector. It rides on a set of 16-inch eight-hole light alloy wheels, which have been polished. Equipment includes electrically adjustable front seats with driver memory, soft-close doors, an electric tilt and slide sunroof, electric mirrors with memory function, heat-insulating glass, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a heated rear screen. Accompanying the vehicle is an impressive history folder. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the front left bumper shows evidence of prior paint and overspray on the rubber which is visible in the video. The rest if the car is perfect. Inside, there is wear and tear consistent with the mileage, but the cabin is in excellent condition overall. The seller notes that the soft-close function on the driver’s door does not work.
