This Mercedes-Benz 500 SL r129 was delivered shortly before the model designation was changed: from June 1993, the V8 sports cars with the 235 kW (320 hp) M 119 E 50 standard-deck engine (4,973 cc capacity) were called the SL 500. This particular car, painted in blue-black metallic (DB 199) and fitted out with black leather on the inside, still bears the previous designation 500 SL. The 500 SL has a whole range of sporty and comfort-orientated optional extras. These include an auxiliary heating and automatic climate control, an electrically adjustable driver’s seat with a memory function, heated seats for the driver and front passenger and additional rear seats. In addition to the locking system with an infrared remote control and the burglar and theft alarm system, the 500 SL has a tow hitch – an unusual detail for a sports car. The sportiness in the genes of the Mercedes-Benz SL is underlined by the Carlsson special rims from the accessories range and a retrofit lowering kit.
