Chassis No: WDB2304752F037036
MOT: October 2023
Offered here is a lovely early example of the technically brilliant, fifth-generation SL, aptly finished in Brilliant Silver. In the attractive cabin, two-tone grey leather and trim sits alongside wood-effect inserts, adding to the opulence you'd expect. Powered by Mercedes' well-proven M113 5.0-litre V8 the driver has 302bhp and 460Nm available to them, rolling on smart 17" 5-spoke alloys, refurbished in 2020. The 'Vario Roof' on these SLs performs its balletic manoeuvres in approximately 14 seconds.
Recently, the car has been the subject of a mechanical refresh by a Mercedes-Benz main dealer at a cost of around £23,000. The work included suspension components, all electrics, including the roof mechanism, a tidy-up paint-wise and refreshed alloy wheels along with everything else that 'needed doing' at the time. An attractive example of an SL500, there is even the cherished number, 'E2 LRJ', included as part of the sale.
A file of paperwork consists of MOT records and an extensive collection of invoices from main dealers, Mercedes - Benz of Newbury, which included servicing of the all important electrohydraulic suspension system amongst other extensive work to bring the car up to the standard expected of such a car. 'E2 LRJ's' complete bookpack includes the service booklet with 10 entries. Having covered 109,500 miles from new the Benz is offered with a fresh MOT certificate.
