- Silver Over Gray Interior
- 67k Miles

Debuting in 1954, the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is a grand touring sports car that credits its history to Mercedes's racing history. Initially, the first 300 SL was a racing sports car built in 1952 with no intention of developing into a street version. It wasn't until 1954, when American importer Max Hoffman suggested that a street version of the 300 SL be created for the wealthy performance car enthusiasts in the U.S., where the market for personal luxury vehicles was booming, that the SL-Class started taking shape and footing.

Displayed here is a supreme example of a classic German roadster. Painted in a bright silver exterior paint and minimal chrome accents, this Mercedes presents very well for its age. The bright silver paint shows nicely. The bright silver AMG wheels shine with just the right amount of luster to perfectly compliment the overall physical appearance.

Under the hood is a well-equipped 5.0L V8 paired with an automatic transmission which shows 67k miles on the odometer. The interior cabin is balanced with a gray interior complete with power adjustable leather buckets for both driver and passenger. The driver controls are subtle and are situated concisely within the main center console. Although this true roadster does not have a rear seat, it does provide ample storage capacity within the cabin and within the rear trunk. The only point of contention might be some slight marring on the driver's door panel which appears to be a result of use and age.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a quaint luxury roadster look no further than this finely engineered German example. It might be the super sexy or tech filled vehicle you will find rolling off the Mercedes dealership lot, but this roadster still has a lot of potential and staying power. We hope that you consider this low mileage, sleek SL500 for your next vehicle or addition to your collection. Please call if interested or e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
