The Appeal
Replacing the enormously successful R107 was no easy task. And in doing so, Mercedes-Benz took a huge leap of faith, trying something completely different. Launched in 1989, the Bruno Sacco-desigend R129 SL looked nothing like its predecesor and was packed with technology, including a rather clever 'electro-hydraulic' soft top and numerous advanced safety systems.
This 1996 example is resplendent in the rare and desirable hue of 'Green Black Metallic' and it sits upon a smart set of AMG alloy wheels. It looks in very smart condition throughout, including both hard top and soft top roofs. Offered with USA Title and EU import documentation, it's time for a new owner to register the car in their country of choice.
