1997 MERCEDES-BENZ SL-CLASS

We are pleased to offer this stunning 1997 Mercedes-Benz SL500, finished in exceptionally rare Ruby Metallic over Parchment leather—a timeless and elegant color combination that perfectly complements the iconic R129's sophisticated design. This is without a doubt one of the nicest ultra low mileage R129's you will find on the market.

Powered by Mercedes-Benz's legendary 5.0-liter V8 paired with a smooth-shifting five-speed automatic transmission, this SL500 delivers effortless performance, exceptional refinement, and the rock-solid engineering that has made the R129 one of the most sought-after modern classics on the market today.

This example is beautifully equipped with a removable body-color hardtop, black power soft top, 16-inch 12-hole alloy wheels, fog lights, heated seats, wind deflector, automatic climate control, Bose premium audio system, and the original cassette stereo.

The Parchment leather interior presents wonderfully and provides a bright, inviting contrast to the rich Ruby Metallic exterior finish.

A gorgeous car throughout, this SL500 runs and drives exactly as it should. The engine pulls strongly, the transmission shifts seamlessly, and all major systems and features operate as intended. The car retains the solid, vault-like feel that made the R129 famous, while offering the open-air driving experience that continues to make these cars so desirable nearly three decades later.

As enthusiasts and collectors increasingly recognize the significance of the R129 chassis, finding low-mileage, well-preserved examples in unique factory color combinations has become increasingly difficult. This SL500 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and highly collectible Mercedes-Benz finished in one of the most attractive and uncommon specifications available.

If you're seeking an exceptional R129 that stands apart from the typical silver, black, or white examples, this Ruby Metallic over Parchment SL500 is one that deserves serious consideration.
