1999 Mercedes-Benz SL320 R129

Current bid
£2,000

Highlights

  • Highly original throughout
  • Extensive file of invoices and MOT certificates 
  • MOT valid until October 2027

The Appeal

The R129-generation SL is widely regarded as one of the finest grand tourers Mercedes-Benz has produced, blending effortless cruising ability with the marque's legendarily robust engineering. The SL320, powered by a smooth 3.2-liter engine paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, represents a refined choice within the range. 1998 brought a swath of impressive changes - the new M112 V6 improved the car's weight distribution and turned the already smooth cruiser into an even more comfortable, relaxed machine. 
This 1999 example has been garage-kept and presents well, a particularly fine time capsule from those pre-millennium days that's loaded with executive luxury. The seller reports that it drives like a dream and is ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.

BEFORE YOU BUY 
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's own Terms and Conditions. 
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 
✓ This vehicle is "Sold As Seen", on an "As Is Where Is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle pickup 
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 
✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any vanity, personalized, or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
