The basic R129 model was the 190 bhp 3.0 L straight 6 300SL with 12 valves. The 228 bhp 3.0 L straight 6 with 24 valves is known as the 300SL 24v. But it was the 322 bhp 500SL, with a 5.0 L V8 engine, which made the most headlines. The specification was high, with electric windows, mirrors, seats and roof. The R129 model was the first convertible/roadster to offer the automatic roll-bar deployment in event of rollover. The driver can also manually raise and lower the roll-bar should he choose to. This facilitates the clean look of R129 without compromising the occupant's safety.
We are told that this car has had a total of 3 owners from new, 1st owner 1996-1998 and 2nd owner 1998-2006. The vendor has owned the car for 12 years, 2006 to present, and the car has only 63,814 miles which is supported by available documentation.
The car is said to be in very good condition apart from the interior of the soft top which has some staining and the plastic back window needs replacing. The Hard Top is in very good condition, and a stand for it is included. There is a complete Service Record and MOT's, to March 2019, supporting the recorded mileage. A recent new Body Control Unit from Mercedes has been fitted in March 2018, costing £964.80 plus fitting. The shown registration comes with the car, and the car is said to be in very good condition, and performs as you would expect a 64,000 mile car to perform. The car has done just over 23,000 miles since 2005, and has not failed an MOT Test in that time. There is a very realist reserve on this car.
