1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 R129

This R129-generation Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a handsome and luxurious modern classic roadster, presented in a refined colour scheme. It is powered by a 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, which sends power to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. First registered in 1995, this example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which was recently imported to Australia, where it passed compliance in May 2022. The odometer indicates 84,705 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1995 This R129-era SL500 is finished in dark grey with light grey lower body panels, over an Anthracite leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by wood veneer trim. It rides on a set of 16-inch ‘eight-hole’ alloy wheels fitted with Dunlop Le Mans tyres. Equipment includes headlamp washers, a top-tinted windscreen, cruise control, a removable hard-top roof, a Bose sound system, automatic air conditioning, Anti Slip Regulation, a Mercedes-Benz-branded cassette stereo, electrically adjustable heated seats with three-position memory, and electric windows. Accompanied by the factory tool kit, floor mats, an electronic owner's manual, the Japanese owner’s manuals, and two keys (no remote, aftermarket immobiliser). Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a small area of wood trim is damaged on the driver's door (the damaged piece is with the car), and the convertible top hydraulics need to be repaired. The seller states that the biodegradable engine wiring has been replaced and a new throttle body has been fitted. The seller states that service work has been carried out during their ownership since the car was imported from Japan in 2022, and that they hold evidence of this work. The R129-generation Mercedes-Benz SL500 is a handsome and luxurious modern classic roadster, blending elegant styling with robust V8 performance. Presented in a refined colour scheme and boasting a removable hard-top roof for enhanced usability, it is sure to deliver a refined open-top driving experience to its next owner, whether on weekend drives or longer touring.
