• Notably late example of the straight-six engined SL320

• Well specified with Panoramic 'glass panel' hardtop, headlamp wash / wipe, optional rear seats and a special order interior: wood / leather steering wheel, wood gear lever surround, pronounced / contrast stitching
• Finished in the classic combination of Brilliant Silver Metallic with Dark Blue leather upholstery and a Dark Blue soft-top

Reassuringly expensive when new and the darling of celebrities, wealthy professionals and F1 drivers alike, Mercedes-Benz’s R129-series SL (‘Sport Leicht’) is undervalued especially in comparison to its W113 and R107 forebears. Conceived at a time when the marque was synonymous with ‘bank vault’ build quality, the R129-series was arguably the most accomplished convertible of its generation.

Produced as they were before the so-called ‘marriage of equals’ affected either Daimler-Benz or Chrysler products, the final, 1998 model-year examples of Mercedes-Benz’s straight-six engined SL 320 were better built using superior materials than their successors. Finished in the iconic combination of Brilliant Silver Metallic with Dark Blue leather upholstery, chassis 167470 also boasts a wood / leather steering wheel, wood gear lever surround, Dark Blue soft-top, Panoramic hardtop, headlamp wash / wipe, rear seats and pronounced / contrast stitching. Supplied new by Peter Harris Ltd and showing service stamps at 6,028, 15,847, 29,344, 39,961, 46,106 and 49,932 miles, the Mercedes-Benz is warranted to have covered a mere 60,000 or so miles from new. Riding on correct-type alloy wheels shod with premium General tyres (a subsidiary of Continental), the SL320 belies its twenty-seven years. Worthy of close inspection, ‘R93 TKV’ is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate valid until October 2026 by the time of sale and is accompanied by its original book pack.

PLEASE NOTE: This lot passed its most recent MOT Test on 8th October 2025 with 'no advisories' and a recorded mileage of 60,383.
