1996 MERCEDES R129 SL500 AUTO

4,973cc, V8 5-speed. Finished in Brilliant silver metallic with Cream leather interior is offered with 33,600 warranted miles. This attractive roadster was supplied by Jacksons in Guernsey where the car remained for several years. The original log book suggests the car was a demonstrator until January 1997 and had three owners registered in Guernsey until 2012. It was serviced by Jacksons from new on nine occasions between 1997 at 4,145 miles until 2012 at 32,351 miles. It was then brought to the mainland and used very sparingly until 2016 when it was serviced by Slough Motor Works at 32,904 miles and then placed in storage for five years until 2020. We have been advised that the black fabric soft top is in very good order with no rips or tears but we were unable to check this as the hard-top was not opening on test. The car has all the usual refinements, it retains the original alloys and both the exterior and interior remain in very good condition  The vendor also advises that the electrics work as they should including the Blaupunkt stereo. It comes with the original service book stamped from 1997 until 2012 and one further specialist stamp in 2020, MoTs, two service receipts, printed service record from 1996 to 2012, copy Guernsey log book, handbooks and wallet. Please note that the main key is in poor repair but we used the auxilliary key together with the fob.
