This long-wheelbase W220-generation Mercedes-Benz S500 L is an effortlessly refined modern Classic luxury sedan, offered for sale by its third owner from new. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8, delivering around 225kW to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This original Australian-market example passed compliance in June 2003 and has been with the most recent keeper for eight years, though it is currently unregisterd. This W220-era S500 L is finished in the timeless shade of Obsidian Black, over an Anthracite leather-trimmed interior, punctuated by burred walnut root wood veneer trim. It rides on a set of 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tyres. Equipment includes bi-xenon headlights, front and rear parking sensors, an electric tilt/slide glass sunroof, an electric rear window roller blind, a Bose sound system, electrically adjustable rear seats, electrically adjustable dampers, electrically adjustable ride height, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, a central media system with navigation, cruise control, and electrically adjustable heated and ventilated front seats with three-position memory. The car comes with a warning triangle, the service booklet, and all the owner’s manuals in a black leather wallet. This long-wheelbase W220-generation Mercedes-Benz S500 is a cosseting yet capable modern classic luxury sedan. Presented in a stylish colour scheme, and boasting a smooth yet potent V8 engine alongside a spacious and well-appointed cabin, it would make a refined companion for daily driving or even longer-distance road trips.
