MERCEDES R129 SERVICING
Our team are renowned for their craftsmanship. A phrase not commonly associated with the R129 SL, but given its emerging status as an iconic, cult modern classic to own, we forged our own team and department dedicated to the preservation of this era of SL. Afterall, we are SLSHOP and we know the R129 better than anyone.
The legends that have graced our hallowed halls of Strassen Kultur include the SL60, SL73, SL600 and every other single variant of the R129 produced by Mercedes-Benz. All legends in their own rights.
This wealth of experience has enabled our team to generate an unparalleled understanding of the essential maintenance required to preserve an R129 SL for spiritual and financial reward. Their sole objective is to ensure your car drives and handles as good as new; with a view to keeping your passion for owning, driving and enjoying your R129 operating on all cylinders.
