Mercedes SL V8
Up for sale - the Merc SL V8 belonging to BCM Towers' landlord Peter Edney

Blog: RALPH MORTON

Last week, as I was bashing away at the keyboard for BCM, the stillness outside the back of the office was wonderfully challenged by the barking roar of a V8.

A Mercedes V8.

The engine belongs to BCM’s landlord. OK, let me rephrase that. The engine belongs to a Mercedes SL, which belongs to BCM’s landlord Peter Edney.

Now, by trade Peter is an accountant. So you’d expect him to have something sensible. Like a Toyota.

But no. He has a Merc SL.

Two of them. (Is that good accounting?)

Recently Peter bought himself a 53 plate Mercedes SL. And while Peter thought he could keep both SLs, it’s not proving practical. So this 1998 SL500 – with an exhaust system minus a bit of the waffling for additional V8 sonority – is on the market: 107,000 miles on the clock, MOT and tax, just serviced, and comes with its own special greeny/blue  paint colour that changes in the light. And a pot of paint just in case…

I wouldn’t mind it myself, but with a family it wouldn’t be the most practical.

It’s on the market, with removable hardtop, for £9,500 ono. If you’re interested call Peter on 020 8979 0287.

For a business car review of Peter’s SL, see the blog My Mercedes SL V8.
