Beschreibung
An extremely rare opportunity to buy a R129 300SL-24 with just 16, 000 miles from new. Only two owners and a complete Mercedes service history from new.
Built in December 1990 and first registered March 1991 by Geyfords MB, South West London, the first owner kept the car until 2014. The second owner to date.
Specified with Pearl Blue metallic paintwork contrasted by a mushroom leather interior, and equipped with memory driver’s seat, five-speed automatic gearbox, cruise control, rear seats, air conditioning, heated seats, a dark blue soft top and headlamp wash/ wipe.

08/ 02/ 93 – 3165 miles – Geyfords MB

In addition to the stamps in the book there is every accompanying invoice, plus all the other invoices for non-service related repairs, all main dealer MB. The original bill of sale is present and all old MoTs. All books and manuals come with the car and both original remote keys.
This car is in exceptional and highly original condition. As our photographs show, the exterior, interior, engine compartment and underside still have that illusive freshness of new.
The 24-valve versions of the 300SL are a completely different car to the 12-valve versions. With over 40bhp more from the high revving six plus the extra gear of the five-speed box they are much sportier and great fun to drive.
If you are looking for a collector quality R129 this car must be seen.
