Lot details

Registration No: T713 RHJ
Chassis No: WDB1290642F182298
MOT: February 2027

  • 118,200 miles and current ownership since 2018
  • Owners wallet with handbooks and current V5C document
  • Finished in Azurite Blue Metallic, cream leather interior and panoramic hardtop

PLEASE NOTE: We have been informed on the drive to the auction venue the ABS and BAS ESP lights appeared on the dashboard.

Revamped for a second time in 1998, the R129-series of the iconic SL underwent numerous cosmetic and mechanical changes. Riding on 17-inch alloys as standard, they sported reprofiled bumpers and smoother tail lights. A new steering wheel was complemented by chrome-ringed instruments and more cosseting seats. Powered by their latest SOHC, three-valves-per cylinder V6 and V8 engines (a V12 remained optional) allied to five-speed automatic transmission, they were cleaner, brawnier and more fuel efficient than predecessors. With 221bhp from its 3.2-litre powerplant, the V6-imbued SL320 was capable of 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and 148mph. Only in production from 1998 – 2001, just 7,070 were sold worldwide.

Finished in Azurite Blue Metallic with cream leather interior, blue soft top and panoramic hardtop, this example also benefits from burred Walnut trim and heated seats. Although previously subject to a ‘Category N Insurance Loss' in 2019 (No Structural Damage and Repairable), it was subsequently repaired having been the subject of minor panel damage whilst in the care of the current owner. Displaying some 118,200 miles and in current ownership since 2018, it comes with a well stamped service book, owners wallet with handbooks, two remote keys and current V5C document.

We are further informed by the vendor that it drives beautifully and it will be driven to the auction. There are a few cosmetic blemishes, however there is nothing that will prevent it being used and enjoyed as is while doing minor refurbishments when convenient to return it to top condition.
