The Appeal

If you're looking for a modern classic convertible that could also double as an everyday car, the Mercedes-Benz R129 SL should be top of your list. This 1993 SL500 represents the pinnacle of '90s German engineering and luxury, combining crisp Sacco styling with impressive V8 performance.

Finished in a two-tone Blue-Black/Silver, this SL500 cuts quite a dash. Having both the hard top and soft top roofs allow it to be transformed between a coupe and a cabriolet; a level of flexibility very few cars offer.

Imported to the Netherlands with all duties and VAT paid, it's now up to a new owner to register this modern classic Merc in their country of choice.
