With only 52k original miles, this SL has been meticulously cared for and serviced from the very beginning. Its original high gloss Burgundy Exterior is in excellent shape and accented by Aluminum Alloy Rims. The Black Canvas Convertible Top and matching Hard Top also show very little sign of wear. The fully loaded Tan Leather Interior is in like new condition and includes all of the standard luxury items that you would expect in a Mercedes Benz. Additional options include Power Heated Seats with memory, a trunk mounted multi-CD player and the 40th Anniversary Floor mats. The 5.0L V8 and 5 Speed Automatic Transmission start, run and drive just as it did when it left the factory. The power delivered is plentiful, but also incredibly smooth and civilized. Steering and suspension are both tight and provide that agile, road hugging feel. This is a nice example of a low mileage SL. Top up or down, it retains that classic Benz look, and retains a sleek design to this day. Put in the key, turn the ignition, and the powerful V8 whirrs to life. The electric top goes down with just the flick of a switch and stows neatly into the rear compartment with ease. A Power Wind Screen is just a flick of a switch away also. We have just completed a through TLD inspection and detail and now this 40th Anniversary Special is ready for a new home.
