All the books, both keys, windscreen, etc, along with service records, documentation from Mercedes-Benz of North America, etc. Truly a rare find, and an excellent collectible quality SL500. Constructed by Mercedes-Benz as a 2001 model to commemorate the return of F1 to the US via the USGP , only 20 cars were built, Based on a Sport edition SL500, all the cars were Brilliant Silver (744) with perforated black Nappa leather. Most of the unique features were confined to the interior with the most noticeable change being an aluminum finish on all that was wood in a standard car. Other nice touches included a machine turned finish on both the instrument cluster and shifter surround, a two toned steering wheel, and floor mats edged in grey. The overall effect is very slick and reflects the clinical techo-sleekness associated with the world of Formula 1.
