The Appeal
The R129 was a clear bit of modernisation effort for Mercedes-Benz, and is often hailed as one of the company's last truly definitive, rock-solid roadsters. Beautifully engineered, and keeping much of what made its predecessor, the R107, so great, it's little wonder that these impressive, rugged and powerful cars continue to garner so much attention from modern enthusiasts.
Finished in Brilliant Silver, with a sumptuous Black Leather cabin, this SL320 has been consistently driven and regularly maintained, and comes complete with an MOT until July 2025. It's ready and waiting to hit the road - and we've no doubt it'll charm its lucky new keeper. 1998 Mercedes-Benz SL320-R86 ABK-61 Andrew Young.jpg977.59 KB
