In 1989 Mercedes-Benz retired its classic Type R107 bodyshell that had been used for a succession of beautiful sports roadsters for almost the preceding 20 years, replacing it with an equally appealing, sleek new design in the modern idiom. This new Type R129 body style was used for three different engine types: 6.0-litre V12, 5.0-litre V8, and 3.0-litre straight six. As installed in the 500SL, the fuel-injected, 32-valve V8 produced 326bhp and delivered stupendous performance, as reflected in a 0-100km/h (62mph) time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 250km/h (156mph). As one might expect, these new SL luxury sports cars were designed to be world leaders in their class and were lavishly equipped in the best Mercedes-Benz tradition.

This outstanding example of Mercedes-Benz's luxury flagship was sold new to Gunter Sachs, the famous German photographer, documentary film-maker, author, industrialist and third husband of Brigitte Bardot, who bought the car as a gift for his then wife, Swedish former model, Mirja Larsson. The Mercedes was next owned by another gentleman and then by the current vendor, who later sold the car before buying it back in 2018. Finished in the desirable colour scheme of silver with black leather interior, this immaculate car was last serviced in May 2018 and is offered with Swiss registration papers and its stamped service booklet. Top of the range, the highest-performance model in 1989 and European-delivered, this is the one to have.

  • État magnifique En 1989, Mercedes-Benz retira la classique carrosserie Type R107 utilisée sur toute une lignée de magnifiques roadsters pendant près de 20 ans et la remplaça par un nouveau modèle au design plus moderne et élégant, tout aussi séduisant. Cette nouvelle carrosserie Type R129 recevait trois types de moteurs, un V12 de 6 litres, un V8 de 5 litres et un six cylindres en ligne de 3 litres. Sur la 500 SL, le V8 32 soupapes à injection développait 326 ch et délivrait des performances ébouriffantes, comme un 0 à 100 km/h en 6,2 secondes et une vitesse de pointe de 250 km/h. Comme on s'y attendait, ces nouvelles sportives de luxe SL allaient devenir les leaders mondiaux de leur segment et étaient dotées d'un équipement très complet dans la meilleure tradition Mercedes-Benz.

Ce remarquable exemplaire du luxueux vaisseau amiral de Mercedes-Benz a été vendu à Gunter Sachs, le fameux photographe allemand, réalisateur de documentaires, auteur, industriel et troisième mari de Brigitte Bardot, qui acheta la voiture comme cadeau pour sa femme du moment, le mannequin suédois Mirja Larsson. La Mercedes passa ensuite à un autre propriétaire, puis au vendeur, qui vendit la voiture avant de la racheter en 2018. Gris argent avec intérieur en cuir noir, cette voiture immaculée a été révisée pour la dernière fois en mai 2018 et sera vendue avec ses papiers d'immatriculation suisses et son carnet d'entretien estampillé. Haut de gamme à hautes performances de 1989 vendu en Europe, c'est le modèle qu'il faut avoir.

Proposition : Rare modèle 1989 au faible kilométrage, ayant appartenu à un collectionneur suisse, à ne pas laisser passer.
