1990 Mercedes Benz 500SL R129
HIGHLIGHTS:
Unveiled at the dawn of a new decade, the Mercedes-Benz R129 500SL quickly established itself as a benchmark in grand touring elegance, combining advanced safety, refined engineering, and timeless design. Presented here is a UK-specification 500SL, right-hand drive, finished in black with a recently refurbished interior in quilted tan leather.
This example presents in good running condition and has been enhanced with refurbished leather with diamond-stitching. The interior has been fully restored to the highest standards, offering a pristine and luxurious driving environment. Comfort and convenience are assured with electrically adjustable seats with memory, while a working black fabric soft top, removable hardtop, spare tyre, A’PEXi exhaust system, and auto cruise control underline its practical yet engaging character. The car rides on a set of rare AMG Monoblock I alloy wheels and shows 94,999 miles currently recorded.
Boasting features such as adaptive damping suspension (ADS) and an automatically deploying roll bar for enhanced safety, this 500SL combines effortless V8 performance with advanced engineering. A highly usable modern classic, it represents a fine opportunity for collectors seeking a well-specified and handsomely presented example of the celebrated R129 series.
