This unique left hand drive Mercedes Benz 500SL was bought primarily for markets where cars

are driven on the right side of the road - and is most likely destined for Canada where Newera is

becoming known for supply of pristine low mileage cars such as this example. With only 12,777km

from new, this car is in as new condition inside, outside and underneath - despite being

manufactured in 1994. Condition is so original and unmarked it could be entered in a concours

competition or become a prized collector's car!Colour is Dark Grey Metallic 2 tone (Some of the

pictures show what looks like black due to lighting). Beautifully finished, this refined road car

blends strong performance with solid engineering and luxurious trappings. Much more athletic

than its 1980s predecessor, the 500 SL is impressively stable at speed, with a rock-solid bearing

that inspires confidence. Comfortable and luxurious, the SL also delivers a sporting feel with

commendable road manners, though it's too heavy to qualify as a genuine sports car, it's more of

a luxury GT 2 + 2 (Although the rear seats are just a token gesture). Sound ergonomics and

attention to detail round out the benefits. Above 3000 rpm or so, the V8 engine feels virtually like a

runaway freight train. Just a touch on the gas pedal is answered by a gush of power, as the V8-

powered SL moves away from a stop with no sense of strain. Passing power is impressive, too.

Mercedes-Benz claimed an SL500 could accelerate to 60 mph in a swift 6 seconds. On the down

side, fuel economy isn't a forte. All versions suffer far less than most convertibles from body

quivers on bumpy roads. Handling is characterized by quick response and little body lean. Braking

is powerful and fade-free. Engine sounds are nicely muted, but tire roar is noticeable on coarse

surfaces. Occupants get plenty of seat travel and a multitude of adjustments, along with good

head room. Simple, unobstructed gauges are accompanied by clearly marked controls, and the

trunk ranks as adequate for a two-seater. Even though they're too heavy and bulky to rank as

(1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that

we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so

we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a

car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required.

(2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as

your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we

will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget

too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can

find, plus a set fee of £900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the

corresponding saving.

(3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if

applicable). The deposit is usually £1,000. If you want a car worth over £10K OTR,

then the deposit is £1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should

you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are

reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred

provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan.

(4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching

for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In

addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers

searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we

havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or

exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed,

though it frequently costs less.

(5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing

all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR

price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time

theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK.

(6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).

How the Newera System Works




33

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time

the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately

60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at

all times prior to you collecting it.

(7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so

that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our

UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing,

to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition.

(8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final

instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing,

registraton etc.

(9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt

spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days

for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs.

(10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury

aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA

tested & MOTd (If applicable).

All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is

fully valetted just before you collect it.

(11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as

the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the

car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate.
