  • Just 3 former keeper from new

This late model SL320 has had just 3 former keepers and has covered only 49,200 miles from new. Clearly a pampered example, the accompanying extensive service history corroborates that our vendor has adopted a no expense spared attitude to maintaining this car since he acquired it in 2023. Finished in Metallic Silver with black leather to the interior, it is fitted with a desirable factory hard top and comes with a hard top stand. The soft top has hardly seen use and remains in superb condition with no visible signs of wear or ageing. The paintwork similarly appears to be in fine condition whilst the interior is said to be immaculate with no major signs of wear on the seats, roof or dashboard - as one would expect of such a cherished example. Capable of cosseting its occupants year-round, Y983 BPA is offered with a large history file, several old MoT certificates, assorted invoices, a letter from the previous owner, current MoT to June 2026 and a Swansea V5C. A fitted car cover and Mercedes factory umbrella are also included.

The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadsters were produced from 1989 through 2002. The R129 models were produced as a two-door, two-seat roadster with an automated (electro-hydraulic), collapsible textile roof, with a shell-like, colour-matched, tonneau cover. All these particular models came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop. The R129 was based on the shortened floor pan of the W124 and featured many innovative details for the time, such as electronically controlled damping (Adaptive Damping System ADS, optional) and a hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. The number of standard features was high, with electric windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder petrol engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002.
