Never actually intended for the American market and imported on a very limited basis, the Mercedes-Benz 500 SEL is rare and collectible in its own right. This Mercedes was originally purchased by Michael Jackson for his use at the Neverland estate and later gifted to his aunt for her birthday. Her thanks to Michael for such a generous gift is reflected via the message on the license plates which will convey with the vehicle along with a copy of the original bill of sale in Mr. Jackson’s name. The car's S-Class engineering features a powerful, fuel injected 5-litre, 303 cubic inch V-8 engine with 302hp and 4-speed automatic transmission. The long wheelbase adds to the comfort and luxury of the ride that only Mercedes-Benz can provide. Her standard features include: anti-theft alarm, outside temperature sensor, automatic temperature control, heated outside mirrors, front and back heated seats, electronically adjustable headrests with memory recline, premium sound system, burred walnut interior with leather and anti-lock braking system. Within the ownership of this vehicle lies not only the ability to own a piece of automotive history, but also rock-n-roll. Accompanied by two photographs of Jackson in this vehicle.
