Chassis n ° WDb1290661F022148 Vehicle in very good condition, always followed and maintained. Attached a large file of all maintenance and repairs at Mercedes Benz French registration card Hard top and original phone Future Collector Valid control; less than 6 months The top-of-the-range Mercedes-Benz has been represented by the SL (“Sport Leicht”) for more than 50 years now. A true saga, it has been the unmistakable benchmark in its category for all its years. The SL R129 was designed at the end of the 80s to continue the SL saga, but with a weight of 1830 kg, it seems difficult to uphold the original “light” designation. Whatever, the R129 must replace an R107 model that has proven itself since 1971. For this, Mercedes-Benz has not skimped on the means by entrusting an unlimited budget to its engineers in order to easily design THE convertible. the most refined in the world. On the design side, Bruno Sacco gets away with it: the line is simply splendid and yet aerodynamic, modern and we immediately identify the roadster as being a Mercedes-Benz production. Under the hood of our May 1997 500 SL is a 4973cc V8. Apart from its general architecture, its dimensions and its displacement, the engine takes very little of the previous 500 SL generation R107. The injection has certainly remained with a KE-Jetronic injection, but the distribution, with two double overhead camshafts, controls 32 valves with a variable timing according to the load, this making it possible to obtain the trifle of 326 horsepower at 5500 rpm and a comfortable torque of 45.0 mkg at 4000 rpm, enough to move a roadster without difficulty. This 500SL is presented in good condition. It has its hard-top and its hood is in good condition. As an added bonus, the phone that matches the interior woodwork comes with the car. With its Plum dress and its black and red leather interior, it begs to be driven with sportiness or pleasure, the choice is yours.
