In 1989 Mercedes-Benz introduced the fourth generation SL model, the R129, which was supplied in Europe with several engine options and named accordingly; the basic model was the 190hp three litre, inline six-cylinder 300SL with 12 valves, and the 228hp three litre, inline six cylinder with 24 valves, known as the 300SL 24. But it was the 322hp 500SL with a five litre V8 engine, which made the headlines only surpassed by the flagship 600SL with its fabulous V12 engine. 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, although the motorist could also manually raise and lower the roll-bar should they choose to thus facilitating the clean look of the R129 without compromising the occupant's safety. The range topping 600SL offered up 389hp through its six Litre V12 engine, introduced in 1993 as the 600SL, it was then re-named the SL600 in 1994 with performance that enabled it to reach 100kph in just 5.9 seconds.
This example was first registered in New Zealand on 28 July 2004. Known as the half-facelift model it bears some of the features from the previous year as well as those of its model year such as later wheels. Mileage is a mere 51,174 kilometres.
