Following the resounding success of the R107, the R129 Mercedes-Benz SL had a rather tough act to follow, as it still had to carry on the tradition of a fast and reliable grand touring convertible. The advantage designers had with the R129 was technology. By the time the final car rolled off the production line in 1989, these earlier models had been in production for 18 years with very little change. Therefore, the SL500 featured many new and innovative ideas, such as controlled electronic damping, automatically expanding roll-over bar and a more modern multi-link rear axle. In addition to this was a fully operating electric roof, windows, door mirrors and seats, which made this model easy and comfortable to operate. The new SL also boasted a more powerful engine and the stopping power was aided by anti-lock braking for added reassurance.

This lovely example is presented in metallic green with cream leather interior and comes with its factory hardtop. The present owner carried out a service on the car in 2023 when the car had all of its four tyres renewed. It has a CD player in the boot, electric seats, Sony sound system (not factory standard). The car will come with a fresh MoT test certificate. A great example of fast appreciating investment, which is fantastic for touring with or without the roof! Consigned by James Good.
