Description
The R129, the successor to the R107, was produced from 1989 to the 2nd of July 2001. Within this relatively long production cycle, the 129 received several updates in September 1995 and in April 1998 which included cosmetic as well as technical upgrades. The SL offered has received all the second-generation upgrades and boasts the then new 5-litre V8 engine with three valves per cylinder and 306 horsepower. Well equipped with a 5 speed automatic gearbox, xenon lights, heated seats, automatic air conditioning, optional rear seating, dual coloured Designo leather interior and a Designo special paint, the R129 was delivered through Mercedes-Benz Automobile AG in Schlieren in March 1999 to its first owner. The chic cabriolet probably had a second owner in the Zurich area before, around 2020 with then 84’000 kilometres, it was taken over by the last registered owner. With now 88’500 kilometres driven and with its hard- and soft top the Mercedes, with its service booklet and freshly serviced in September 2024, is in very good and well maintained condition and will be sold with the most recent MOT from January 2022.
