The SL500 was the flagship of Mercedes Benz, and this one is as good as they get! Originally registered by Mercedes Benz themselves and reportedly allocated to the Managing Director (though we haven't been able to verify this so far). Built during the era when Mercedes quality was legendary this example is superb in every way and fully loaded. Its no slouch either the 5.0 V8 with 5 speed auto box produces 320bhp and 347 lbs/feet of torque it can reach 155 mph with a 0-60 time of 6.3 seconds. Amazingly it can travel 28 miles to the gallon @ 75 mph. It has a decent sized boot (unlike its successor). List price when new was £65,000 plus extras so the total for this car was probably over £75,000.
