Here we have an R129 1999 Mercedes-Benz SL500 finished in a repainted brilliant silver metallic. The SL-class is a grand touring sports car manufactured by Mercedes-Benz since 1954. The designation "SL" derives from the German term "Sport-Leicht", which translates to "Sport Light". Initially, the 300 SL was a racing sports car built in 1952 with no intention of developing a street version. In 1954 an American importer suggested the street version for wealthy sports car enthusiasts in America where the market was booming for personal luxury cars. The SL500 offers the best of both worlds: a timeless design that’s both luxurious & sporty, as the 5.0L V8 pushes out over 300 horsepower. Whether you’re cruising with the top down on a sunny day or enjoying the smooth ride with the top up, the SL500 is a joy to drive. This R129 was introduced in 1988 & produced until 2001. It is the 1st Mercedes to feature a fully automatic, hydraulically-operated fabric convertible top & an automatic roll-bar. In 1998, the R129 received its major cosmetic & technical updates with revised engines from the new, at the time, W220 S-class. The seller reportedly acquired this SL500 in 2018 from Ohio, USA when it had roughly 142,294 miles / 229,000 km. It features the AMG styling package which adds a front spoiler, side skirts & rear apron. It is also optioned with the desirable 18" AMG 5-spoke wheels. Other than the A/C requiring a new compressor, all else is said to be in working order. The car includes all of its factory roof amenities including the body-coloured hard-top, black soft top & wind deflector. The seller reportedly had the vehicle entirely repainted at the time of purchase & is said to be in great condition with no dents or significant scratches. The wheels were reportedly refinished at the time of the repaint. Multiple invoices are attached showing a very strong recent service history amounting to well over $17,500 cad since the acquisition. See the service history below for more. The seller also reportedly added new Pirelli P-Zero A/S tires under his ownership. It is powered by a 5.0L M113 V8 engine spinning the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission. The seller states there is no history of accidents to his knowledge & the car shows no signs of any incidents; all lines are said to be straight. The car now shows 148,800 miles / 239,470 km on the odometer. The vehicle is currently in winter storage in a heated garage. - 5-speed automatic transmission - Brilliant silver metallic (744U) over black nappa leather (231A) interior with burl wood accents - Power everything - Cruise control - Automatic climate control - Heated seats with memory - 4-spoke leather steering wheel - Casette stereo - Bose sound system - Heated rear hardtop window - 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS - Xenon headlights - Fog lights - Body-coloured removable hardtop - Fender air vents - Deployable roll bar - Wind deflector AMG Styling Package: - Front spoiler - Side skirts - Rear apron - Factory 18" AMG wheels - Front: 245/40 R18 Pirelli P-Zero A/S tires - Rear: 275/35 R18 Pirelli P-Zero A/S tires - Power: 302 HP & 339 Lb-Ft of Torque - Curb Weight: 4121 lbs
