2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 for Sale in the United Kingdom

This 2003 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 is a used car showing 22,531 km. It is equipped with an automatic transmission. The car is finished in Blue-grey with an Orion Grey interior.

The cabin brings together Exclusive Orion Grey leather, an Alpaca Grey designo Alcantara headliner and burr walnut wood. Mayfair describes a car kept by the same family from new, originally purchased as a fiftieth wedding anniversary gift. Since 2015 it has been stored in a private collection with servicing maintained, according to the seller. Its equipment includes COMAND, adaptive cruise control and PARKTRONIC, together with the hydraulic Active Body Control suspension. Bi-xenon headlights, heated seats and electrically folding mirrors are also listed. Period communications remain part of the specification: an integrated Nokia phone and a six-disc changer compatible with MP3. Its exterior appears blue-grey in the photographs, without a published factory paint name.

The car is located in London, United Kingdom.

The Mercedes-Benz SL 500 uses the 4,966 cc naturally aspirated M113 V8 with port injection, rated at 306 PS (225 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 460 Nm from 2,700 to 4,250 rpm, with a top speed limited to 250 km/h, with an automatic gearbox driving the rear wheels; five speeds were replaced by seven during 2003.

FAQ

This Mercedes-Benz SL 500 in the European market

Is this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 priced above or below the European market?

At £29,950, about €34,939, it sits below the median of €60,173 for the 10 Mercedes-Benz SL 500 advertised in Europe in 2026. 0% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

Can this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The vehicle is located in London, United Kingdom. The seller does not say whether the price includes VAT or whether VAT can be reclaimed. Documents, transport and registration in the destination country must be agreed with the selling dealer.

How much did this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €96,396 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at £29,950, with no VAT basis stated by the seller: the nominal gap to the list price is -64%, on an uncertain tax basis. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today.

How does the mileage of this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 compare?

22,531 km recorded, against a median of 37,856 km across the Mercedes-Benz SL 500 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Mercedes-Benz SL 500 are priced closest to this one?

a car in Germany at €35,890, and a 2002 car in the Netherlands at €39,950. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz SL 500, and how does a purchase work?

Mayfair Prestige, a professional dealer in London, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz SL 500 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at London, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.
