This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SL is finished in Pearl Blue Metallic (348) over Royal Blue leather (272) and is powered by a 5.0-liter M119 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a folding blue soft top, power-adjustable seats with memory, original Euro headlights with wipers, rear kinder seats, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The odometer indicates just under 97k miles and the factory service booklet is stamped up to 88k miles. The car was purchased on The MB Market in April 2024 from the Patina Collective who originally imported the car from the United Kingdom. The seller did install a new battery and notes one of the cylinders is not holding compression. The car is now offered at No Reserve in New Jersey and comes with two keys, service booklet, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title.

The exterior is finished in Pearl Blue Metallic (348) with matching bumpers and lower cladding. Features include a folding blue convertible soft top, original Euro headlights and corner lights with wipers, fog lights, fender vents, and a power antenna. The seller notes the soft top is currently inoperative and must be raised or lowered manually. Minor scuffs can be seen on the corners of the front bumper.

Factory 16″ alloy wheels wear a silver finish and are mounted with 225/55 Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires with older date codes. The car is equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), automatic slip control (ASR), and a leather-wrapped roll bar designed to automatically deploy in the event of a rollover.

The interior is upholstered in Royal Blue leather (272) along with matching carpets, door panels, and dashboard. The center console and door cards are accented with burl wood trim. Equipment includes power windows, automatic climate control, cruise control, and an aftermarket head unit. Rear kinder seats are finished in matching Blue leather.

The blue leather wrapped steering wheel frames instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and a digital thermometer along with auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, instant economy, and coolant temperature. The six-digit odometer shows just under 97k miles.

The 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory rated at 322 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The factory service booklet shows dealer stamps up through 88k miles. The seller had the car inspected by a seasoned classic Mercedes-Benz service shop which determined that one of the cylinders is not holding compression which causes a loss of power and over heating. The car received a new battery 3 months ago and the car does run and drive as is.

The Carfax report one entry upon first registration in the U.S. in July 2023 when the car was imported by The Patina Collective. The car is offered at No Reserve in New Jersey and comes with two keys, service booklet, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title.

The MB Market Insights

The R129 is often regarded as a masterpiece from the Bruno Sacco era and values are predicted to continue to rise with age. Each generation of SL has proven to be highly valuable and collectible. The R129 in particular is often seen as the last truly iconic body style of the SL lineage. Back in the glory days of the 90’s, many cultural icons chose the R129 as their vehicle of choice including Clint Eastwood, Princess Diana, and Formula1 World Champion Michael Schumacher. The M119 is a perfect pairing for this grand touring roadster and offers just enough thrill to satisfy its driver with the top up or down. For this particular example, the blue on blue color combination is among the more rare offerings from Mercedes at the time. While the car does look great and runs and drives as is, the car will need some love and attention to get back on the road with the one cylinder losing compression. With No Reserve, this 500SL could be an amazing opportunity for someone with a little bit of mechanical prowess or looking for a fun and rewarding project.
