EXTERIOR
The limited number Silver Arrow is finished in a beautiful ultra-metallic silver paint unique to the edition. Under the glare of our studio lights the deep metallic flake looks sensational on this 40k mile example. The body is in truly exceptional condition throughout and remains free from any unsightly scratches, swirl marks, or notable chips to the frond end. All in all, this has to be one of the finest Silver Arrows we’ve ever had the pleasure of selling.

This car is further equipped with the desirable panoramic glass hardtop option, its matching silver paintwork in perfect condition also. For the warmer months the car sports an immaculate black soft top. The roof operates without fault at the touch of a button and boasts a lovely pale grey lining; the rear windows are without any damage.

INTERIOR
The Silver Arrow’s cabin is a special place to be, with an abundance of fine materials and trims specific to the model. The lavishly appointed interior features unique Nappa leather upholstery in black and silver, a theme that extends to the door panels, steering wheel and gear knob. The supple leather remains in near-perfect condition throughout, with no wear to the bolsters and no discolouration to any of the silver-coloured areas.

Other Silver Arrow-specific features include a machined aluminium instrument cluster and shift gate, with black birdseye maple wood adorning a number of other surfaces. Damaged centre console wood trim is a common issue among Silver Arrows but within this example everything still looks and feels like new. All the switchgear is solid to operate and in the footwells the carpets are protected by the original leather-trimmed overmats. At the rear the seats appear unused, the leather remaining as soft and supple as ever.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
Under the bonnet lies the magnificent 5-litre Mercedes-Benz V8, producing more than 300hp and launching the SL from 0-60mph in little over 6 seconds. This example is in excellent mechanical condition and was most recently serviced in October 2020 at 40, 591 miles.

The Silver Arrow uses an intelligent electric 5-speed automatic gearbox, which adapts the timing of the changes to changes in road gradient, as well as syncing with an individual’s driving style in fully automatic mode. The car performs flawlessly on test.

WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The two-piece 18-inch alloys set the Silver Arrow apart even more and look sensational with the correct polished outer rim. All of the wheels are in perfect shining condition with no lacquer damage or curb marking to be found. They are shod in a matching set of premium Continental tyres with ample tread remaining. Standard specification includes cross-drilled discs and smart silver-painted calipers; the brakes appear in fine condition all round with plenty of life left at each corner.

HISTORY FILE
This unrepeatable SL was first registered in September 2001; it has now driven just 40k miles in the hands of only 4 keepers since new. The maintenance history is well documented in the accompanying paperwork and the original service book is stamped up to date with 10 entries, the last service having been carried out in October 2020 less than 200 miles ago. The original Mercedes document pack is present with all manuals, and a copy of the Silver Arrow Certificate of Authenticity (No. 59 of 100) is also included.
