Description
The R129 body Mercedes SL is widely acknowledged as the pinnacle of Mercedes engineering. Since its launch in 1989 many improvements were made with both cosmetic and mechanical updates keeping the car as the leader in its class. This 2001 model was the final model year for the R129 so to many is the ultimate incarnation. The 3. 2 V6 engine develops 231 BHP, enough to power the roadster up to 150 MPH. The 5 speed automatic gearbox is slick shifting and is renowned as Mercedes most durable boxes.
As you would expect with any Mercedes the options list is large and thankfully the first owner of this car ticked most of the boxes. Specification includes;
Brilliant silver metallic paint

This exceptional example was purchased by its last owner, a long time Mercedes Enthusiast, in 2014. It has been a cherished car for pleasure use and that shows in its condition.
