The Appeal
The R129 SL600 sits at the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz's roadster lineage of the 1990s. Powered by the 6.0-litre ‘M120’ V12 producing 389bhp, it was the most powerful and luxurious variant of the R129 range, originally retailing at $130,945 when new, or €183,140 with these options in the Netherlands. Today, the SL600 is increasingly recognised as a collectible modern classic, with the effortless power delivery of its V12 setting it apart from its six- and eight-cylinder siblings.
This 1994 example is finished in Midnight Blue over grey leather, with a dark blue soft top. Originally supplied to the US market, it has since been imported to Europe via the Netherlands, with EU customs duties and VAT paid. The car comes with its window sticker and Mercedes-Benz datacard, providing a clear record of its factory build specification, and the seller can assist with worldwide transport and shipping for the successful bidder.
