This is a highly documented, Canadian-spec (Code 460) SL500 finished in the ultra-rare Designo-Green Metallic Paint Finish (252U). It includes a factory-ordered interior specification that is virtually impossible to find in Canada today.
• 021 Designo Green Carbon Fiber Trim: Hand-selected carbon weave with a green tint.
• 561A/022 Exclusive Black & Designo-Green Leather: Two-tone Nappa leather EXTENDING to the dashboard and door panels. Even the hardtop has leather stitched inserts making it even rarer than a pano.

A Green Carbon/Designo build is a "1 of 1" or "1 of very few" for the Canadian market.

This car has 225,000 km and has been enjoyed as a driver, but remains in remarkable condition for its age due to continuation of use and regular maintenance. This is also what keeps this ultra rare and exclusive R129 FOREVER car priced well.

The M119 V8 and 5-speed automatic transmission are considered the ideal combination.

Originally from BC with the full Dealer Service Booklet Meticulously maintained and stamped up until 120 000 kms. Followed by physical Service Records form Alberta from then until present.

Key Factory Codes Verification
This car was built in Bremen, Germany (indicated by the 'F' in the 11th digit of the VIN) and carries the following verified equipment codes:

Code 252U (Designo Green Metallic): A genuine Designo paint finish that was only available for a narrow window between 1997 and 1999.

Code 021 (Designo Green Carbon Fiber): This is the "holy grail" for this build. It confirms the interior trim is hand-selected carbon weave with a green tint, an exceptionally rare and expensive factory option.

Code 022 (Designo Green/Black Leather): This code verifies the two-tone Nappa leather interior with the extended leather package on the dashboard and door panels.

Code 460 (Canadian Specification): Confirms this is an original Canadian-market vehicle, which adds to the "1 of 1" local rarity claim
The "Combo" Factor: While there might be other Designo Green SLs in Canada, the mathematical likelihood of another Canadian-spec car having the exact same combination of Green CARBON FIBER (021), two-tone Green Leather (022), and full leather dashboard extension is statistically near-zero.
