The Appeal

Looking for a modern classic convertible with everyday usability potential - the R129 SL is the way to go. Bruno Sacco's brilliant design still looks good to this day, and the solid engineering behind it ensures the R129 is still a reliable option for long journeys or even daily driving.

This 2000 example has been carefully stored in the owner's garage for the past five years, preserving its condition. With its desirable panoramic glass hard top and electric heated seats with memory function, this highly specified SL is a mightily tempting proposition.

Benefiting from comprehensive recent maintenance, this SL320 is reportedly ready to go.
