Faster, harder-edged and more driver-orientated than its R107 predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz R129-series SL was launched at the 1989 Geneva Motor Show. Brimful of cutting-edge technology, its impressively rigid two-door monocoque bodyshell featured an integral rollover bar that deployed in less than a third of a second and a fully automatic convertible roof. Reputed to develop some 188bhp and 192lbft of torque courtesy of its 2960cc SOHC straight-six, the 300 SL was a paragon of refinement (despite its claimed ability to sprint from 0-60mph in 9.0 seconds and onto 142mph).
Finished in Almandine Red Metallic with Beige leather upholstery and a Black soft-top, chassis WDB1290602F009761 was built to order 0053780312 for the UK market. Warranted to have covered a mere 33,000 or so miles from new, the Mercedes-Benz is described by the vendor as being in ‘excellent overall’ condition with regards to its engine, automatic transmission, electrical equipment, bodywork, paintwork and interior trim. Kept garaged when not in use with the hood raised to preserve its form, the 300SL also boasts a factory hardtop. Sparingly used since 2018 due to ill health, ‘G676 DDP’ is offered for sale with V5C Registration Document, book pack (including service booklet), maintenance invoices, ownership records and MOTs dating back to 2009.
PLEASE NOTE: It was noted at the last MOT test that this lot’s odometer had ceased to function. The vendor tells us that it has covered a mere sixty miles or so since then and remains a very low mileage example. An email to this effect will be added to the history file
