Mercedes- Benz 500 SL

Mercedes - more than a badge

The Mercedes 500 SL. The "sport-light" class. A recognizable sports model from one of the most German iconic brands in existence. The R129 was already the fourth generation SL class. This is still a car from the time when cars were conceived without the idea of earning on dealer repairs. A luxurious interior without concessions. 322HP 5-liter 8 cylinder, a great atmospheric block that roars like a gorilla but floats like a condor. The recognizable iconic lines of the SL-Class and its "Sacco-Bretter" protective covers.
This convertible's hallmark was "making the top a priority. A soft- and hardtop that closed German, no pin in it. Wonderful the way 'das Beste oder nichts' could be experienced.

This Mercedes 500 SL was born in 1990, and has suffered very little since then. The car has only covered 73,000 kilometers, which for a V8 is of course warming up. This is the Modellpflege 1, or pre-facelift, which can already definitely be called a classic. With the silver on black color combination, it is a delightful classic appearance. A top investment, and with this mileage you will not find them easily anymore. A dealer-maintained Mercedes that is already a classic.
To drive as a classic or of course as a youngtimer. Almost the end of the year, time to get those books a little smarter.
