1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 320

Sold for £8,719

(including buyers premium)


Lot details

Registration No: L2 DTM
Chassis No: WDB1290642F182474
MOT: T.B.A.

  • Previous maintenance by marque specialists AMF Automotive and Merctech
  • Subject to around £5,000 worth of recent work
  • In remarkable condition underneath (please see photos)
  • Finished in araguably the best combination of Brilliant Silver Metallic with Grey Nappa leather and a Black soft-top

Introduced in late 1998 as part of the R129-series’ final facelift, the revised SL 320 was powered by a newer, more fuel efficient 3.2 litre V6. The vast majority of the 7,070 made were to LHD specification.

Built to order number 0820431535 for the UK market, chassis WDB1290642F182474 was delivered on March 9th 1999. Finished in the most iconic (and arguably best) colour for a Mercedes-Benz, namely Brilliant Silver Metallic, the SL 320’s impressive specification also included a Black soft-top, 3.2-litre V6 engine, five-speed automatic transmission, wood trim to the steering wheel and gear lever surround, Grey Nappa leather upholstery, heated / memory seats, folding mirrors, Xenon headlights (with wash / wipe) and 17-inch alloy wheels. Warranted to have covered some 89,000 miles from new (an average of less than 3,500 per annum), the two-seater was entrusted to independent Mercedes-Benz and AMG specialist AMF Automotive of Kent for an ‘A’ service and replacement MAF sensor in December 2023. That same month also saw its suspension and brakes refreshed with new arms, springs and discs at each corner (c.1,200 miles ago). Although, the corresponding invoice for £3,267.43 has been mislaid. Treated to refurbished alloys all-round last year, the SL 320 also benefited from the ministrations of Merctech. Arguably even more presentable underneath than on top (a decided rarity for a R129), the two-seater started readily upon inspection. Self-evidently the subject of much recent expenditure, this smart SL 320 sits well and is worthy of close inspection. Offered for sale with valid MOT certificate, book pack and paperwork file.
