The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz’s much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five-link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar, and front airbags. The SL 500 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, an automatically expanding roll-over bar, and a multi-link rear axle. In addition, there was a fully electric package of an electric roof, windows, door mirrors, and seats, making the ownership experience luxurious, stress-free, comfortable, and with easy to operate equipment.

Manufactured in 1991, the SL 500 offered was supplied new to the United Kingdom and first registered on the 1^st of August that year. Finished from the factory in Arctic White paintwork with Royal Blue leather interior upholstery, and a Dark Blue soft-top, the SL was specified with the optional extras of heated front seats, eight-hole alloy wheels, fire extinguisher, headlamp cleaning equipment, heated rear window, air-conditioning, and the paintwork preservation package. In seventeen years of ownership with a Doctor, and wearing registration number ‘999 DR’ during his ownership, the SL 500 was subsequently purchased by Mercedes-Benz of Solihull in 2014 and is understood to have been placed on display in their showroom for several years. Now showing some 83,000 miles on the odometer, ‘J42 UNB’ has had just three former keepers from new. Accompanied by a body-coloured hardtop, the SL 500 was MOT tested in July and thus has a no advisory MOT certificate until July 2024, as well as a current V5C Registration Document.
