The seller offers for sale this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 of the R230 series, powered by a 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine and fitted with an automatic transmission. The vehicle presents itself in good cosmetic and mechanical condition. The black paintwork is described as beautiful, with no need for body or paint repair. The interior features artificial leather upholstery and is in equally fine condition. The engine starts without issues, produces no smoke and runs silently, and the gearbox shifts correctly without any unusual noises. The SL is free of visible rust, accident-free and it holds a valid technical inspection.
The R230 SL series is known for combining luxury, performance and grand-touring comfort. Introduced as the successor to the R129, it offered modern engineering with its retractable hardtop, refined suspension and powerful V8 engines. The SL 500 in particular is praised for its smooth performance, balanced ride and the effortless driving experience that makes long journeys enjoyable. Its design features a blend of classic SL proportions and contemporary styling that remains appealing today. For collectors and enthusiasts, cars with strong provenance and excellent cosmetic condition—such as this example—represent desirable options in the modern classic roadster market. With both soft top and hardtop included, it offers versatility and year-round usability.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
