1995 Mercedes SL500 95/M A great car with History. For Sale

PRICE REDUCED AGAIN FOR QUICK SALE.
First registered on 06/ 07/ 1995, with a full and comprehensive service history and only 5 owners. It is dark gunmetal grey with full cream leather interior including carpets and MB custom fitted mats. There is no rust, dents, scuffs or any deep scratches on the car.

It is nearly 22 years old but is in very good condition. This model has the later heater and climate control unit and steering wheel than the earlier cars. I have just had the steering wheel refurbished as it was letting the car down. The seats are all electric with 3 memory options. There are no rips or tears and the seats are very presentable. The rear seats have had after-market 3 point seatbelts fitted as opposed to the factory lap belts. The steering has electric reach and rake.

The hardtop is in very good condition as is the soft top, which has had new screens. The wind deflector is in the boot with its protective cover. The toolkit is also present. It has original genuine MB 8 hole alloys in good condition with Michelins all round, the spare is also the same. It also has the headlamp wash wipe system.

It has recently had a small service and MOT. I have hardly driven it at all since it passed with no advisories. The mileage is 100, 462. The car is known to our local MB specialist as the previous owner only lives 2 minutes from me. The specialist gave it a clean bill of health. He has previously driven this car for approximately 80 – 100 miles and commented on how well it drives. This is a chap who worked for Mercedes all his life until being his own man as an independent.


It starts instantly and is super silent while idling and driving under normal conditions. When required, the legendary Mercedes V8 kicks down as it should and really flies. The gearbox is super smooth. It drives absolutely beautifully without any knocks, bangs or rattles. It effortlessly glides at licence losing speeds without even trying. The power steering gives you feedback at speed and effortless manoeuvre-ability in town.

These older models have more HP than the newer ones. The oil pressure is always on 3 bar, there are no warning lights illuminated on the dash. It feels really solid; these are the cars people refer to when they say “the last of the truly well-built bullet proof Mercedes” before the tie up with Chrysler in 1999.

The plastic windows on the soft top were replaced approximately 5000 miles ago. The fabric is in excellent condition. It has been well cared for by its’ few previous owners, as shown by the service history and additional spending on it. That is why it looks, drives and behaves as it does.

I have the leather wallet folder containing the current red V5 in my name. All the books, manuals and documentation over the life of the car. I have the two original working keys/ remotes. There is an original and complete tool kit, including the spanner to manually open/ close the roof in an emergency. The boot also houses the wind deflector in its protective cover, warning triangle, full size MB 8 hole spare alloy wheel.

By now you may be wondering why I’m selling it. I have four cars, a BMW X5, a BMW 840 Ci Sport, a Mercedes SL320 AMG and finally this SL500. Therefore I cannot justify keeping all of them, plus there’s no space on the drive, and my work situation has changed and I need to sell a couple of my toys.

This Needs nothing for the foreseeable future, just enjoy. There are a couple of things that would make it perfect that we can talk about, but nothing that takes anything away from the car. These cars are increasing in value quite rapidly now. Buy one now before prices really take off.

This is a genuine private sale, so serious enquiries only please. I am happy to discuss/ talk further and entertain requests for more information and pictures. I am open to serious offers only. Thank you for taking the time to read the ad. I’m sure I’ve left lots of things out, please feel free to contact me for any specific information or pictures you may require. Reduced from £6650 to £5750 for a quick sale.
