1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SL | London

The 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500SL belongs to the R129 generation, a roadster known for its long bonnet, steeply raked windscreen and smooth, aerodynamic flanks. It is liked as a relaxed grand tourer, with a folding fabric roof that stows under a tonneau and a detachable hardtop for a different profile. This car is finished in blue black with a grey lower half, over a beige leather interior. Its 5000cc V8 gives smooth, unhurried pace, and its condition is excellent. The dark body against the pale cabin reads clearly in shot, whether the roof is down or the hardtop is fitted. That contrast and the early-1990s executive look suit period film and TV, fashion and editorial photography, advertising and music video work. The open cabin shows the people inside, which helps at events. It also makes a polished arrival for a wedding or a personal hire. The car is based in London.
