Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
Introducing the Mercedes-Benz SL500 with its boxy lines, big alloy wheels, and brawny 5.0L V8 - welcome to the ‘90s.
What is the most thoroughly engineered convertible on the classic car scene today? The R129 has got to be up there in that list. The SL500 is the flagship model with its bombproof M119 5.0L V8 engine - it had more power than some of the Ferraris on sale at the same time.
The SL500 was also one of the safest cars ever built, with it’s ‘Wunderbar’ (an automatic roll bar) which deploys within milliseconds of the car flipping over. Even to this day, it’s considered an extremely safe sports car to own.
We really like this example owned and cherished by Richard for last 8 years. He’s done a great job at maintaining the beastly 5.0L V8 and preserving the bodywork in excellent condition for the new owner to enjoy as much as he has.
This auction listing was written by Jacob from information supplied by Richard the owner.
