MERCEDES R129SL UK REGISTRATION
The R129 SL was sold all over the world, with units exceeding 200,000 over the course of production. Of this number, was of course a variety of special additions and unique AMG examples which are rare and sought after these days. These facts often lead us to look abroad for the more unique R129 examples.
