Lot details Registration No: R464TGM Chassis No: WBD1290632F Mot Expiry: Sept 2013
The fourth generation of Mercedes-Benz's much-vaunted SL model (the R129 Series) was launched at the Geneva Motor Show of 1989. It was a beautifully-engineered motorcar that bristled with technical refinement and innovative safety features. The specification included independent suspension all round (double wishbone at the front/five link system at the rear), adaptive damping, ventilated disc brakes with ABS, electronic stability control, integral roll-over bar and front air bags. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder engine of 220bhp and was continued through to 2002, following a facelift and change of engine in 1998.
The right-hand drive SL320 offered is a 'Special Edition' 1998 example finished in 'Design O' pearlescent Blue complemented by Grey leather upholstery. The unique specification includes: factory hard top, special alloy wheels, electrically-operated seats, wind deflector, climate and cruise control, Tracker anti-theft system, xenon headlights and wood trim kit. The vendor regards 'R464 TGM' as being in "excellent overall condition" and is selling the Mercedes complete with service history containing eight stamps and an MOT into August next year. The odometer currently reads a "warranted" 81,350 miles. Properly serviced and maintained examples of the R129 SL will run and run. They represent German engineering at its best and extraordinary value for money in today's market.
