Description

A well-presented SL320 (R129) — one of the most usable and well-balanced models in the SL range, combining classic R129 build quality with the later 3. 2-litre V6 engine.

Registered September 1998, finished in timeless silver with a light grey interior, showing 122, 000 miles and three owners from new.

Key Features
3. 2-litre V6 petrol engine (M112)
Smooth automatic transmission
Original panoramic glass hardtop and black soft top both in excellent condition
Full Service History
Two original keys
Original factory immobiliser
Recent new brakes and discs
Catalyst replaced
Late-production R129 with ongoing Mercedes refinements

Condition
There are no known issues. Cosmetically, it presents very well for its age, with only minor age-related marks consistent with careful use. The light grey interior remains tidy and original, retaining the correct period look.

Ownership
I bought the car three years ago and it has been enjoyed and maintained during my ownership. The sale is due solely to age-related arthritis, rather than any issue with the car.

Practicalities
Full Service History
MOT and supporting paperwork available
Private sale
Sensibly priced to reflect condition, mileage and market

Serious enquiries welcomed.
Happy to answer sensible questions and provide further details. This SL is supplied with the original panoramic glass removable hardtop. The hardtop and soft-top are changed manually, as intended by the factory — a simple, robust system that avoids the complexity of later fully electric mechanisms.
