Model History – The 500SL (R129)
The R129 generation SL, produced from 1989 to 2001, is considered one of Mercedes’ greatest engineering achievements. Styled by the renowned Bruno Sacco, it introduced forward-thinking technology and exceptional build quality, including:
Automatic roll-over protection bar
Electrically operated soft-top
Multi-link suspension for superb ride quality
High-strength safety cell construction
The 500SL, powered by the revered 5. 0-litre M119 V8, produces around 322 bhp and is known for its smooth delivery and long-term durability.
1993 examples remain particularly desirable because they retain the original M119 engine, high-quality interior materials, and early-model hydraulics before later cost-cutting changes.
Gearbox
This model features the dependable 4-speed automatic gearbox (722. 3) with 4 forward gears + reverse, perfectly matched to the V8 for effortless cruising and smooth power.
Condition Summary
A clean, honest example throughout. The cream leather interior is tidy and well-kept, and the paintwork presents nicely with a deep shine. Both the removable hardtop and electric soft top operate correctly, giving you the full classic SL ownership experience.
