Following on from the success of the R107, the R129 had a tough act to follow, as it had to maintain the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. The SL500 featured a 5.0 V8 producing 326bhp, with 0-62mph in 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 155mph. The model featured many innovations, including electronically-controlled damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and multi-link rear axle. In addition there was a fully electric package of roof, windows, door mirrors and seats, making the ownership experience luxorious, stress free, comfortable and all easy to operate.
Manufactured in 1994, this UK-supplied, RHD SL 500 was supplied new via Portfield Mercedes-Benz of Chichester on 27th July 1994. Presented in Midnight Blue with complementary Cream leather interior and Navy Blue hood and body-colour factory hardtop, ‘M545 XBP’ has had just five former keepers with c.101,000 warranted miles from new. Subject to a steering box overhaul in 2018 and new exhaust and lambda sensor in 2020, approximately £6,000 worth of expenditure has been spent on it in the past eighteen months. Work has included a new hood, interior refresh, which included the leather, paintwork, paint protection and servicing. Accompanied by the original book pack including the stamped service book which illustrates eighteen stamps, many from main dealers and specialists, a collection of invoices, MOT until October and current V5C.
