This Mercedes-Benz SL320 is a tidy, low-mileage example of an R129. Finished in Azurite Blue metallic over a Beige leather interior, it presents beautifully and has been owned by The Vendor for the past three years. With just 65,447 genuine miles from new and only three former keepers, this SL320 is a well-preserved example.
This SL320 has been carefully maintained throughout its life, as reflected in its low mileage and accompanying history. The car comes with a collection of old MOT certificates, a full history printout and an invoice for recent work completed. In July 2024, SM Auto Care of Pickering carried out maintenance at a cost of £1,501.97, which included freeing and replacing the old aerial mast, fixing a central locking fault, and refitting the fuel cap locking cell.
The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL was produced from 1988 to 2001, replacing the long-running R107 before being succeeded by the R230 SL in 2002. Designed as a luxurious two-seater roadster, the R129 featured an electro-hydraulic fabric convertible roof, a colour-matched automated tonneau cover, and a manually detachable hardtop. Being an SL320 is powered by the 3.2-litre M112 V6 engine, producing 231 BHP and driving the rear wheels through a smooth 5-speed automatic gearbox. It delivers a refined yet capable performance, with a 0-60 MPH time of 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 147 MPH.
This R129 SL320 presents a fantastic opportunity to own a modern-classic roadster for the summer months.
