MERCEDES R129 SL MOT TEST
The R129 is the last of the over-engineered SLs and only tipped to go up in value. In the 21st Century, high-calibre examples are becoming rarer and as values only go up, now is the time to choose the right specialist for your annual MOT.
As the foremost R129 specialist in the world, why would you take your R129 SL anywhere else? We have been restoring, servicing and modifying the R129 for over 15 years, singing its praise for years where others regarded it as ‘just another SL’. Every SL is special to us and all deserve the right caring hands.
WHY DO I NEED AN MOT?
With complex suspension systems, brakes prone to rapidly wearing out and areas known to be susceptible to rust, the R129 requires a team that truly understand the idiosyncracies of each six-cylinder, eight-cylinder and 12-cylinder model. Our team treat every car as their own, ensuring that the whole car is interrogated prior to its MOT test, preventing a fail record from showing on your R129’s history file.
WHAT DOES IT DO FOR THE CAR?
Our team focus on ensuring your vehicle passes its MOT, inspecting it prior to the actual test. This gives complete transparency and allows us to rectify any urgent issues (if any) to give it a stamp of approval that carried weight in the classic car community.
WHAT DOES IT DO FOR ME?
An SLSHOP MOT is not just a simple test. Our team feel passionate about driving these vehicles and will ensure all is in order to get you a Pass record; so, you can use your vehicle with confidence all year round.
