SUMMARY
Originally supplied by Tony Purslow Mercedes, Basingstoke, this is a simply gorgeous example of a very late R129. In my opinion, these are by far the most refined of the R129 SL's as all the issues of the earlier cars had been ironed out, and they all benefit from the later M112 V6 engine which, I think is one of Mercedes' best engines, and certainly one of the most reliable, and doesnt suffer the problems of bio-degradable wiring looms, random Head Gasket failure and failing throttle bodies that afflicted many of the Sl's made between 1993-1998. I've always maintained if you're going to buy an R129 SL, either go for one of the first (pre '93) cars or one of the last, made post '99/'99.
THE MTSV DIFFERENCE
Unlike some, I don’t just simply go out, buy any old car, give it a good clean, then advertise it for more than the purchase price, disregarding any issues the car may have in the hope the new buyer won’t notice…I just couldn’t do that. The cars I source are carefully selected and I work very hard so that when my cars leave me, I have the satisfaction of knowing they are as good as they possibly can be within the constraints I have. As such I have many repeat customers and new customers that have been recommended via word of mouth…the ultimate accolade for anyone in business. To read more, see my website at - details above
Any other questions, please feel free to contact me at using the button below or on the details below. I'm a firstly and foremostly a true car enthusiast of many, many years, and a Mercedes Club Member, so it's a pleasure to meet and speak to like-minded people.
Finally, I'm situated in Keighley, West Yorkshire (Postal Code Area BD21) which is approximately 11 miles from Skipton, and 20 miles West of Leeds.
Thanks for reading my advert!
