The Astonishing Story
A Birmingham‑based restoration garage – SLSHOP – recently put an interesting 1982 Mercedes‑Benz 500SL on the market. The “barn‑find” is a genuine masterpiece: only 67 km on the odometer yet still in showroom condition. According to Mr Hough from Gnosall, Staffordshire, the vehicle was never registered or driven on public roads; it basically lived in storage since it left the factory 42 years ago.
This rarely‑seen, almost‑new 500SL is a time capsule for car lovers and collectors alike, and could very well go down as the lowest‑mileage 500SL in existence.
