Sander Houdel

Beautiful and original 500 SL AMG line from 1997 of the 2nd and improved facelift type 2.

The car has had 1 owner, who had the car from 1997 to 2021 (see Carfax)

Comes from sunny California, so absolutely no rust on the car, no dryness cracks on the dashboard.
Still very clean under the bonnet and chassis beams.

The car has stood still for a long time, so it must be fully checked, small leaks from the engine and gearbox are to be expected.

The paint is in reasonable and original condition, expect some scratches, pits, dents and clear lacquer spots that are coming off, there are also some tiny vandalism scratches (see photo), many of these can still be polished out.

The air conditioning unit is blowing but will need to be filled and/or checked.

A small star in the windscreen, see photo (probably still repairable) barely visible and not in the field of view.

The automatic soft top roof needs to be checked, now only opens manually (pump works, but does not build up enough pressure)

The soft top is in beautiful and undamaged condition.
A hardtop is included.

Never had any damage or problems, this car gets a Carfax score of no less than 76 points which is far above average, the SL is therefore a super nice basis for a complete restoration.

The SL had almost all the options at the time:

Cruise control
Electrically adjustable steering wheel
Memory seats
Rain sensor
Electric windows
Xenon lighting
AMG package 
ASR
Alarm
CD changer / Bose speakers
Original Mercedes radio
Climate control
4x airbag
4-speed automatic transmission with sport mode

Mechanically, the V8 runs very quietly and beautifully, the gearbox also shifts through the gears well, and the car brakes well.

Fuel filter has been renewed.

It is advisable to come and view the vehicle before placing a bid to avoid disappointment afterwards. Please contact Catawiki to schedule an appointment.

The car can be viewed in Schiedam, the Netherlands.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.
2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment. Any other costs or charges such as customs or import duties, customs clearance and handling may also apply during shipment of your lot and will be charged to you at a later stage if applicable.
