The Appeal
The R129 saw Mercedes-Benz confront the upcoming millennium in style, modernising their roadster formula beautifully without sacrificing the familiar build quality, durability and sophisticated comfort that the marque's reputation demanded. It was a product of pure, logical evolution, and by all accounts was a remarkably successful car.
This particular example stands out with its recently applied metallic bronze/brown finish, complemented by a matching hardtop. With comprehensive service documentation and a fresh MOT, this SL320 ticks all of the boxes - and that colour scheme is an immediate winner.
