Mercedes-Benz SL 500 (R129)

In the year 1989, during the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz revealed the next generation in the SL family, the R 129 series. This model hit the niche and soon the manufacturer’s production capabilities were fully covered. The R 129 set the new standards for style, performance, and safety. No sooner than a year after the SL reveal, the R129 was received the “Car Design Award”

Today it is still a car not too modern for a classic, but classic enough to held this name. Comfortable and safe convertible with a hardtop – the SL R129 is a typical two in one.

Why do we love the R129 500 SL ? For the Bruno Sacco’s timeless design. For the V8 engine, that will please the driver not only with the performance, but also, with the noise. For a great chassis which, combined with the engine makes the SL 500 a cult-classic sports car.

This particular example is originally from the Grand Canary Islands. The car is fully documented. The brake discs and pads were replaced. The original, spare Mercedes-Benz roof key, a hardtop with the new inline and four keys still remained with the car. The radio is original.  The car had three owners in Poland.
