In some ways, the R129 generation Mercedes SL represented the end of a genetic chain that began way back with the legendary 300 SL, being the last of Mercedes’ drop-top grand tourers to pair a folding soft top with a removable fixed hard top. Couple that with those oh-so-attractive crisp lines courtesy of the master Bruno Sacco, and you have an exceedingly desirable future classic. There’s plenty of variants to satisfy your needs too, with the R129 being available with 6, 8, or 12 cylinders depending on just how potent you like your grand tourers.
