Overview of this Mercedes-Benz

Presented here is a single-former-keeper Mercedes-Benz R129 500SL with only 30,500 miles on the clock. Currently with its second owner, it’s available with original alloy wheels, hard top and stand.

The list of factory-fitted options on the car includes a six-speaker system for the Becker Mexico radio, heated seats, cruise control and the optional rear seats. This is in addition to an anti-theft device, driver aids like ASR, adaptive dampers, cruise control, and two airbags at the front.

Also included with the car is the original paperwork — not just limited to the brochures and manuals but also the document of sale, and a dealer-stamped service book.

Condition:

This SL retains some original charm and presents very nicely inside and out

History:

According to the letter of sale, this R129 500SL was allocated for production in July of 1990. With a slew of factory-fitted options including some of the aforementioned, its total price came up to a rather handsome £75,850 — although unsurprising for a nearly top-spec Mercedes-Benz SL. First registered in August 1990, the 500SL is a little more than three decades old, but it's just done 30,000+ miles. Its current MoT, which it cleared without any advisories, is valid till July.
