Mercedes-Benz SL500 (R230) • 5.0 V8 • European Specification • Only 42,532 km • COC Included

Finding an early R230 SL500 in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult. This 2001 Mercedes-Benz SL500 is an original European-specification car that was later imported from Japan, where it has clearly been very well looked after. It has covered just 42,532 km from new and remains in excellent overall condition, both inside and out. Finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with a Black Anthracite leather interior, the car presents beautifully. The bodywork is clean, the interior shows very little wear, and everything feels exactly as you would expect from a low-mileage example. Power comes from the legendary 5.0-litre M113 V8, producing 225 kW (306 hp). Known for its reliability, smooth power delivery and unmistakable V8 sound, it's considered one of Mercedes-Benz's best naturally aspirated engines. An added bonus is that the car comes with its original Mercedes-Benz Certificate of Conformity (COC), making registration within the European Union much easier. Factory Equipment
