Introduced at the September 2001 Frankfurt Motor Show, the R230-series of Mercedes-Benz’s long-running SL range remained in production for ten years. Arguably the most accomplished two-seater Grand Tourer of its generation, the newcomer offered a blend of performance, ride, handling and refinement that few, if any, rivals could match. The initial flagship before the arrival of the AMG models, the SL500 was powered by a 5-litre V8 engine allied to five-speed automatic transmission. With some 302bhp / 339lbft of torque on tap, it was reputedly capable of 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds and 155mph.

A one owner car that has covered just 6,500 miles from new, this decidedly smart SL 500 features Brilliant Silver metallic paintwork, Anthracite Black leather upholstery, Burr Walnut veneers, Active Body Control suspension, Xenon headlamps, COMAND, AMG 18-inch alloys and a multi-disc CD player. Rated by the vendor as ‘excellent’ with regards to its 5-litre V8 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, bodywork, paintwork, electrical equipment and interior trim, the Mercedes-Benz is only being offered for sale due to a house move. The retractable hardtop roof is understood to be in full working order and this classically liveried ‘Silver Arrow’ possesses a MOT certificate valid until September 2022.
