1994 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 Auto Cabriolet V8 Modern Classic. Private use (not ex-rental, fleet, or salvage). Condition: Used – fair to good (see full cosmetic breakdown). This car has just had over £3,000 spent on recent mechanical servicing, including suspension, braking, fluids, engine components and more. It starts on the button, drives beautifully and is ready to use immediately. All it needs now is some light cosmetic attention (detailed below) to restore it to it' full visual glory. Due to a growing number of business commitments, I no longer have the time to complete the cosmetic stage. Specification and Highlights: 5.0L V8 (M119 engine – one of Mercedes’ best). Automatic gearbox — smooth and strong. Factory removable hardtop included. Working electric soft top (Black). Power seats with memory. Factory Bose sound system. Heated mirrors, cruise control. Original 16” Mercedes alloy wheels. Cream leather interior. Rear jump seats (foldable). UK registered: L518 ABJ; HPI clear, V5C present. Recent Maintenance (£3,000+): Full engine service: oils, filters, plugs, coolant, transmission inspection and fluid service, brakes checked, serviced, adjusted, suspension refreshed — bushes, arms, dampers. Electrical niggles diagnosed and resolved. Roof seals and rubbers cleaned and treated. Wheels cleaned and balanced. General pre-sale check and tune. The next owner can either enjoy it immediately or carry out finishing cosmetic work over time. The car presents well at first glance and still turns heads. However, being honest and fair, here are the cosmetic areas that could benefit from attention. Small paint bubbling near hardtop seals and rear arches. Minor flaking on roof lip corners and badge surround. Surface rust is visible on the lower door shut lines and arch lip. Light oxidation on headlight wiper arms. Scratches on the mirror cover and trim. All issues are cosmetic only-no structural rot or corrosion beneath.
