AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Original-preserved Mercedes-Benz 500 SL (R129) with contemporary AMG conversion
• Equipped with rare, multi-piece OZ alloy wheels
• Very low mileage of under 90,000 km from second hand
• Electric soft top (front hydraulic cylinder renewed) including hardtop present
HISTORY & OVERVIEW:
The Mercedes-Benz SL of the R129 generation, designed by Bruno Sacco, set new standards for luxury roadsters when it debuted in the late 1980s and is today a sought-after classic. This early 500 SL example with the 326 hp 5.0-liter V8 was built in 1990 and first registered on January 1, 1991. The vehicle is second-hand and has a low total mileage of under 90,000 km. The roadster has been used as a pure summer car, driven only in good weather, and stored in a heated garage. It combines largely factory condition with an early 1990s AMG performance upgrade.
BODY & PAINT:
The bodywork and the silver paint are in very well-kept condition. The car is equipped with an AMG body kit/package and rides on rare, multi-piece OZ lightweight alloy wheels. The soft top is in very good condition; the front hydraulic cylinders of the convertible roof have been renewed and the roof mechanism works flawlessly. A matching hardtop is also included with the vehicle.
INTERIOR:
The two-seat interior is very well maintained and largely in original condition. The vehicle features extensive equipment as well as the original Mercedes-Benz radio.
TECHNOLOGY:
The 500 SL is powered by the 4,973 cm³ V8 naturally aspirated engine with 240 kW (326 hp), coupled to an automatic transmission. The vehicle has a valid TÜV and is in drivable condition.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle has a valid TÜV main inspection as well as vehicle papers for registration.
A viewing and collection is possible by prior appointment at the location Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic. Bids are exclusive of transport and export unless otherwise stated. The organization of transport, transfer of ownership, and any export documents/COC costs are the buyer's responsibility.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
