Highlights: – 5.0-litre V8 engine, petrol, automatic transmission – Black exterior with tan leather interior – Supplied with both a hardtop and a soft top – Extensive documentation including old invoices, according to the seller – 86868 miles The professional seller offers for sale this 1991 Mercedes-Benz 500 SL, powered by a 5.0-litre V8 engine, paired with an automatic transmission. The R129 generation SL was introduced in 1989 as the successor to the long-running R107, and it brought the open two-seater into a new era with a low, wide body, an automatically deploying roll-over bar and a power-operated soft top. The 500 SL sat near the top of the range, with a smooth 32-valve V8 that gave the car effortless performance and the refinement expected of a grand tourer from Stuttgart. This example is finished in black with a contrasting tan leather interior, a combination the seller describes as a beautiful colour pairing inside and out. It comes with both a hardtop and a soft top, so it can be enjoyed as an open car in summer and as a closed coupe in colder months. According to the seller there is a great deal of documentation, including old invoices, and the car carries a Dutch registration. The seller states that it is ready to get in and drive. Inside, the cabin features leather-trimmed seats, a centre console with the automatic gear selector, and a wind deflector behind the seats. The R129 500 SL remains an appealing choice for collectors who want a comfortable, well-engineered cabriolet that is still easy to use on the road. Condition of the bodywork & paint 3 — Good.
