1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 R129

Highlights

• Highly original throughout
• Extensive file of invoices and MOT certificates
• MOT valid until October 2027

The Appeal

The R129-generation SL is widely regarded as one of the finest grand tourers Mercedes-Benz has produced, blending effortless cruising ability with the marque's legendarily robust engineering. The SL320, powered by a smooth 3.2-litre engine paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox, represents a refined choice within the range. 1998 saw a swathe of impressive changes - the new M112 V6 aided the car's weight distribution and made the already smooth tourer into an even more comfortable, relaxed piece of kit.

This 1999 example has been garage-kept and looks in good order, a particularly fine time capsule to those pre-millennium days that's loaded with executive luxury. The vendor reports that it drives like a dream, and is ready and waiting for its lucky new keeper.
