Following the resounding success of the R107, the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL had a rather tough act to follow, as it still had to carry on the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. The advantage designers had with the R129 was technology. By the time the final car rolled off the production line in 1989, these earlier models had been in production for 18 years with very little change. Therefore, the SL500 featured many new and innovative ideas, such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and a more modern multi-link rear axle. In addition to this was a fully operating electric roof, windows, door mirrors and seats, which made this model easy and comfortable to operate. The new SL also boasted a more powerful engine and the stopping power was aided by anti-locking braking for added reassurance.

This SL500 is an excellent late example, presented in gleaming black with a grey leather interior and hugely desirable panoramic glass factory hardtop. The car has been a part of the present vendors collection since 2022 and has been used quite regularly since then. The history file is extensive and shows an excellent maintenance history, having been serviced virtually every year since new, with the most recent service having been caried out in May 2024. The SL Shop retailed this car in 2013, so it would have certainly been an excellent example back then and it has clearly been in the right hands since then. It is offered with a V5C registration document, MoT test certificate valid until May 2025 and an extensive history file containing many significant invoices and service records.
