1992 Mercedes-Benz SL500
NOT
SOLD
AMENDMENT; Under 48,000 miles from new; huge spec; AMG
wheels; Japanese import; a lovely example
This impressive top of the
line R129 SL was sold new in Japan in 1992.
As is often the case in that
country, mileages are minimal, which explains why this car has only covered
an average of 1,700 miles per year.
It retains its original Japanese
paperwork although no hand book as such. The V5C shows that it was imported into
the UK in 2016 and registered in June of that year K876 EEP.
It had some
new top strut mounts at that time and an MOT which was needed to register
the car. Since then it has barely turned a wheel and remains in stunning order,
sitting on a set of AMG wheels.
The vendor informs us that it is indeed a
fine car, the only fly in the richly iced cake (to mix metaphores) are the hood
rams which do not hold fluid - a common enough issue on these R129s we are led
to believe when the hood is not operated regularly.
Complete with
hard top, this impressive 5-litre V8 is one of the nicest we have seen and the
way interest in these beautifully engineered Mercedes' is going, looks like an
excellent place to store some hard earned cash...
AMENDMENT: Please
note the heading stated this Mercedes was a 1996 model - it is of course a 1992
model as detailed in the description.
