Description
1996 Mercedes Benz SL320 AMG R129
HIGHLIGHTS:
Graceful proportions, vault-like engineering and timeless roadster appeal define the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class (R129), widely regarded as one of the most refined grand touring convertibles of the 1990s. Built during an era when Mercedes-Benz prioritised durability and craftsmanship, the R129 combined advanced safety technology, superb build quality and effortless open-top driving. Today, well-preserved facelift examples with AMG styling cues are increasingly appreciated as modern classics among collectors and enthusiasts.
Presented here is a 1996 Mercedes-Benz SL320 AMG finished in its original silver paintwork over a black leather interior. Having covered just 52,155 km from new and owned by only two careful custodians, this example remains highly original and well preserved. The cabin features electric leather seats with contrast stitching, elegant wood trim detailing and a leather-trimmed steering wheel, while the fully operational power-operated soft top allows effortless transition between open-air cruising and refined enclosed comfort.
This facelift example benefits from subtle design updates introduced in 1995 while retaining the R129’s classic silhouette. AMG styling elements and signature AMG Monoblock wheels give the car a purposeful yet understated stance, and the vehicle is reported to drive well with stable engine temperatures and normal operation of its key mechanical systems.
