@ProdigalPetrolHead: see the black plastic sliding drawer surround https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2002-mercedes-benz-sl500-silver-arrow-100/
Question for the experts here...... I have seen many many R129 SA auctions, and the (wood) trim around the drink holder in the center console varies. My R129 SA had 38k when I purchased it, and that wood trim has more brown than the rest of the black birds eye maple. Most I've seen online have been similar with that one piece of wood trim different from the rest of the wood. This is actually the first one I've seen with a well-matched black birds eye. I've even seen black plastic as trim with the seller stating it was original. What is your experience with your cars?
Michelin tires are always a positive indicator that the owner takes good care of the car.
Seller, has the central locking issue reported on the other site been addressed?
@Schumacher7x Yep, looks like the same car, sold in June of this year.
Impressive attention with documentation in photos. GLWA!
What a gorgeous Merc!
Still hunting for a pen and key ring.
Even the briefcase and certificate are there. All the marbles. What a package! This gives me some V12 envy as I have an 8cyl Silver Arrow.
I'm not super well versed in mid-80s Mercs...... in pic 107, can anyone chime in if number plates were screwed on with philips screws rather than being riveted?
This car is gorgeous with the gray & cognac combination. The rear window sunshades are a touch of class!
Manual time machine. That interior is striking!
As a private collector you have quite the car collection as shown in the cold start video. Very impressive!!!
Thanks for your prompt answers. Any background you can supply since 2019 when the CARFAX history stops is appreciated. Is the title a VA title or a CA title? The write-up says CA but the "Quick Facts" summary box on the top right states VA. Would there have been a 3rd owner since 2019? The description states that the car is up to date on maintenance and service but only 1 service is listed in CARFAX. Any documentation you can provide for this limited edition car will greatly help the bidding. I realize I'm asking a lot of questions but with the conflicting information in this listing I want to bid in confidence.
A few questions: The description says the car has Michelin Pilot sport tires but there are Kumho tires in all the photos. Have Michelins been installed since the photos were taken? Is there any chance the Silver Arrow briefcase is still with the car? Is the top stand and Silver Arrow branded hard top cover included? Can you post a picture of the hood pad? Can you post a close-up of the small ding on the passenger front fender by the wheel housing?
Hi seller, this is such a beautiful example. Thank you for all of the pictures and documentation. Can you provide any information regarding the repair order in picture 194 from Sept. 10, 2018 listing a multipoint inspection finding a leaking rear main seal and left rear differential side seal? Were these repairs completed? Also, is the wind deflector screen still with the vehicle? Thank you.
Blacksburg, VA and a beautiful burgundy color (dare I call it Chicago maroon). Coincidence or a VA Tech fan? :)
Congratulations to the seller and the buyer! It looks to be a beautiful car (just outside my limit unfortunately). Those seats sell the car all by themselves!
