Mercedes Sl280 r129 1999 V6 facelift
Bar a few age related stone chips this car is exceptional in every way.
No dings or dents and no rust or visible scratches. A very well cared for car.
She comes with a very low genuine mileage of just 59200 miles which will increase slightly as being used. The hard top is mint and the soft top in great condition as well. Black Nappa leather seats with plush thick carpets. The alloy wheels are in top shape with no curbing or scrapes. Has continental tyres all with good tread. Folding mirrors. Heated and electric seats. Power steering. Roll bar which pops up. Cruise control. Climate control. Airbags for driver and passenger. Impact protection. Vanity mirrors. Rear storage.
She comes with full service history plus a file of separate invoices and has a great vosa history. To summarise this car is a very smooth drive and barely run in with this mileage. An extremely over engineered car which is surprisingly economical as well if you don't have a heavy foot. Power is 201 bhp which is enough for today's roads and by no means sluggish either.
Over built and designed for long distances and less expensive on servicing and insurance than the larger sized engines. She also benefits on having the revised wiring loom being a facelift and the updated engine to being a V6 which replaced the inline 6 cylinder on the earlier models. The seats also are in great condition with very minimal wear. Bolsters are excellent. Overall a stunning looking car and luxurious comfort. I have only ever used high octane 97 or 99 fuel in her and only hand washed and waxed the car with great care.

Additional comments.
There was some scratches and chips to the hardtop and paint on the car so i spent £1345 on professional paint correction by feakins of Kettering and had the car machined polished to bring her to a high standard which you would expect on a car like this.
She starts first time every time. Burns zero oil. Uses zero coolant and maintains normal temperature. Drives beautiful as you would expect. A smooth effortless driving experience with a classic wedge shape that ages like a fine wine. No warning lights issues and I've enjoyed covering 3000 trouble free miles in her. A totally pampered car.
Known faults (Minor)
1. Radio works but won't accept discs. I acquired another spare radio which is an expensive blaupaunct but never got round to having it fitted. This will also come included with the sale.
2. There is also only 1 key present. Another spare can be purchased directly from mercedes.
3. There is a small hairline crack in the hard top glass in the rear top corner which doesn't really notice unless you focus on it as the glass is tinted with privacy glass.
4. Owners manual is missing and leather folder.
Enhancements
I did add an AMG badge on the rear which looks great on the car but can be removed easily if needed. Apart from that the car is totally factory with no mods. This is a car for the purist.
