Description
Available on consignment at Prestige-Car-Factory Mercedes-Benz 500 SL type R129 from 1993. An original European model imported from Canada.
This is the R129, designed by Bruno Sacco. It succeeds the R107 and made its debut in 1989. The Mercedes-Benz France Club notably highlights the R129's highly sophisticated design, featuring in particular an automatically deploying roll bar, ABS, airbags and ASD/ ASR systems.
For the European 500 SL produced until June 1993, its mechanical specifications:
M119 E50 V8 engine
4, 973 cc
32 valves
dual overhead camshafts per bank
Bosch LH-Jetronic fuel injection
Approximately 326 bhp DIN
450 Nm
4-speed automatic gearbox
rear-wheel drive
0–100 km/ h in around 6. 2–6. 3 seconds
electronically limited top speed of 250 km/ h
weight around 1, 800 kg.
And this M119 engine is truly one of the major highlights of this car: all-aluminium V8, 5 litres, 32 valves, with an architecture quite different from the M113 V8 that would arrive much later.
An SL in generally good condition, though the bonnet and boot will be repainted due to lacquer peeling in places!
120, 915 km
