The Appeal
The R129-generation SL is held in high regard among Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts as one of the marque's great grand tourers. The SL320, powered by a smooth 3.2-liter inline-six, offers a refined balance of performance and comfort, and this 1998 example benefits from the facelift updates introduced during the model's later years.
Supplied new to the UK market in September 1998, this SL320 is a handsome ambassador for the R129, finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over black Nappa leather, complemented by a black fabric power-top.
Having had eight former registered keepers, the car has been with its current custodian since June 2022. With the R129 SL continuing to gain recognition as a modern classic, this well-specified example merits close inspection.image.png1.2 MB
