This 300SL 24 Valve is a testament to its previous owners. Every bill and every MOT/ NCT shows that this particular car, has been incredibly well maintained and lightly used. The R129 Mercedes really is the perfect classic, yet modern cabriolet. Old enough to have a style and presence on the road that new cars cannot compete with, yet with modern conveniences that make it incredibly usable.
Many buyers may think they should buy a 5 litre V8, but the fact is the 24 Valve engine of this car has an output of just over 230bhp and being lighter than the V8, it's so much more responsive and agile. The service history is extensive and recent work includes:
Four new Continental tyres and wheel refurbishment.
Major engine service including distributor cap, rotor and ignition leads.
Gear linkage bushes
Rocker cover gasket
New battery
Hardtop headlining replacement
Replacement roof ECU and hydraulic ram repair
The underside of the car has been cleaned and wax protected.
The exterior Pearl Grey paintwork (1220) is virtually flawless and bumpers are unmarked. The interior grey leather has just the right amount of light wear. All electrics work exactly as they should.
The R129 as a model is still incredible value for money so buy one before prices double.
