Maintained meticulously by long-term enthusiast owner
Advisory-free MOT until September 2025
The Appeal
The R129 was one of Mercedes-Benz's definitive products for the close of the 20th century, and what a swan song it was. Taking the venerable R107's formula and expanding upon it, this impressive tourer was a natural evolution in all of the right ways, modernised and characterful for the industry's changing appetites, while still being positively rock-solid.
This particular example stands out for its remarkable 24-year tenure with the same enthusiast owner who has cherished and meticulously maintained it since the turn of the millennium. Having been the owner's dream car, this SL320 has been the subject of fastidious care, and it really shows. An excellent opportunity to take on one of Mercedes-Benz's all-time greatest roadsters.
