Description
In total, it has had four owners, with the current owner purchasing it last year. Since then, the cabriolet top was replaced with a good used one, and the car was mechanically reviewed, including the installation of platinum spark plugs, as required for these engines.
The car is in good running condition and presents well. However, no hardtop is included, and it is fitted with non-standard alloy wheels. The service book is missing.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Starts easily with a smooth engine, proper gear shifts, strong brakes, and good handling. No warning lights, and all electrics work, including windows, mirrors, seats, and the aftermarket radio. The electric roof functions but may need a light push to lock. Includes rear lights and extras in the boot. Tidy engine bay, with the soundproof cover removed due to wear. Inspected until 2025-05-31 and ready to drive home.
-
Interior condition
Interior is complete and clean, with good leather seats showing no damage, only minor wear on the driver’s seat bolster. All gauges work, and the dashboard is undamaged. Door cards and carpets are in good condition, though the rear carpet behind the seats and in the boot has a few marks. The soft top fits well, with no holes, just minor signs of wear (see pictures).
-
Exterior condition
The bodywork is in good condition, with straight panels and no visible rust. The underbody is clean, with only light surface rust—a new underbody seal is recommended for future protection. The paintwork is clean with a good finish, though the front and rear bumpers have marks and scratches that would benefit from repainting. The front right lower plastic grille is loose and just needs a new clip.
-
General condition
A solid and very usable 500SL, ready to be enjoyed as is or easily improved with repainted bumpers in the future. A lot of car for the same price as a good Volvo Amazon.

- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
