1992 Mercedes-Benz SL500 | Marshland St James, Norfolk

A 1992 Mercedes-Benz SL500, from the R129 generation of SL roadster. The model is known for its long bonnet, steeply raked windscreen and smooth, solid lines, and for mixing open-top touring with real comfort. Its fabric roof folds away beneath an automated tonneau cover. This car is blue with a beige interior, a calm, understated pairing that reads well in daylight. Under the bonnet sits a 5.0-litre V8. The low two-seat cabin keeps driver and passenger in clear view with the roof down, and the pale trim lifts close-up interior frames. That early-1990s luxury look suits period advertising, film and TV, music video, and fashion and editorial shoots, with the open cabin showing off whoever sits in it. Events get a smooth, polished arrival car. Weddings and personal hires are covered too. The car is based in Marshland St James, Cambridgeshire.
