A rare piece of automotive history is now available for enthusiasts and collectors alike as a 2002 Mercedes-Benz SL500 Silver Arrow is set to be auctioned on Bring A Trailer with no reserve. This exclusive model, one of only 1,450 units produced for the US market, was created to commemorate Mercedes-Benz’s illustrious racing heritage. Initially delivered to Atlanta Classic Cars of Decatur, Georgia, this well-preserved SL500 features a 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Finished in the distinctive Silver Arrow Metallic, it boasts a luxurious black and silver Nappa leather interior.

The SL500 Silver Arrow is equipped with a range of premium features designed to enhance both performance and comfort. This model comes with a removable hardtop, a black soft top, 18-inch two-piece alloy wheels, xenon headlights, fog lights, heated power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, and a Bose sound system with a six-disc CD changer. Recently acquired by the selling dealer in 2024, this particular example has clocked 66,000 miles and is now offered at no reserve. Included in the sale are a window sticker, a Silver Arrow-branded briefcase and pen, the owner’s manual, spare keys, a tool kit, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title.

The exterior of the SL500 Silver Arrow is not only visually striking but also highly functional. The car’s color-matched removable hardtop and black convertible top ensure versatility in various weather conditions. The xenon headlights and fog lights provide excellent visibility, while the AMG-styled front spoiler, side skirts, and rear apron add a sporty touch. The convertible top hydraulic distributor and cylinders have been replaced in preparation for the sale, ensuring the car’s operational integrity.

Inside, the SL500 Silver Arrow is a showcase of luxury and technology. The heated and power-adjustable seats are wrapped in black and silver Nappa leather, complemented by black birdseye maple wood trim on the doors and center console. The interior features a deployable roll bar, a Bose sound system with a remote six-disc CD changer, brushed aluminum door sill plates, seat-position memory settings, a wind deflector, automatic climate control, and cruise control.

The digital odometer indicates 66,000 miles.

Under the hood, the 5.0-liter M113 V8 engine delivers 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Recent maintenance includes replacement engine mounts in 2021 and a comprehensive service in April 2024 that included an oil change and the replacement of the drive belt and air filters.
