Released exclusively for the US market, the Silver Arrow was a special edition of the R129 designed to celebrate the brand’s racing history. Silver Arrow paint accentuated the elegant lines of the SL, coupled with a two-tone black and white Nappa leather interior, and distinctive highly polished six-spoke wheels to complete the package. A mere 1,450 examples were made, coming at the end of the already iconic R129 production run.

Delivered new to Sears Imported Autos of Minnetonka, Minnesota, this SL has been treated to a pampered lifestyle since 2002. The car’s original owner was its sole caretaker for 15 years, faithfully maintaining the Silver Arrow at its selling dealership on multiple occasions. When all was said and done, less than 4,000 miles were accrued during his stewardship. 2017 would see its relocation to the East Coast, where further maintenance, including installation of a new fuel pump and convertible-top hydraulic cylinders took place.

Showing just 4,783 miles when catalogued, this SL500 Silver Arrow is accompanied by documentation, original sales materials, its tool roll, and original hardtop. Extremely well preserved, this distinctive R129 is being offered as the ideal candidate for those seeking a timeless classic that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
