Current V5 present. Paperwork includes a Mercedes wallet containing Owner's Handbooks, a Service booklet containing 6 stamps and 1 written entry, some promotional material, MOT certificates, a Retention Certificate, a previous vehicle check, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • A classic SL500 Mercedes finished in Metallic Silver
  • This stunning vehicle boasts exceptionally low mileage, just over 40,000
  • It has been meticulously maintained with several service stamps and all MOT recommendations completed at source
  • I am the third owner, and a relative was the second
  • Both my relative and the first owner only drove the car now and then, at weekends, and have always lived in a garage
  • The car has just gone through a full health check and cat B service, and all recommendations of the health check have been carried out
  • It has an MOT until July 2026
  • Loads of documentation, original books, and purchase order invoices are included with the paperwork
  • Its timeless design, luxurious interior, and powerful performance make it a true collector's gem
  • Don't miss your chance to own a piece of automotive history
  • This vehicle was originally purchased new in 2003 by a retiring company director, with the sole intention of touring Europe with his wife
  • Their memorable journey lasted from late 2003 through 2004, during which the car covered the majority of its mileage
  • Once their adventure concluded, the car was carefully garaged
  • In retirement, it was enjoyed sparingly, typically only in the summer months and on days when the roof could be lowered to make the most of the weather
  • In 2022, my business partner (the second registered owner) and I purchased the vehicle as a weekend pleasure for ourselves and our partners
  • I later became the current registered owner and was going to take the car to my home in Marbella
  • However, following an unexpected inheritance of another vehicle in Spain, I have now decided to part with this one
  • This is an honest, low-mileage example with original paintwork, always garaged, and a true pleasure to drive
