Revamped for a second (and final) time in 1998, the R129-series version of Mercedes-Benz’s iconic SL sportscar underwent numerous cosmetic and mechanical changes. Riding on 17-inch alloy wheels as standard, they also sported reprofiled bumpers and smoother taillights. Inside, a new steering wheel design was complemented chrome-ringed instrument dials and more cossetting seats. Powered by Mercedes-Benz’s latest SOHC, three-valves-per cylinder V6 and V8 engines (although, an older V12 remained optional) allied to five-speed automatic transmission, they were typically cleaner, brawnier and more fuel efficient than their predecessors. With some 201bhp / 199lbft on tap from its 2.8 litre M112 powerplant, the V6-imbued SL280 was reputedly capable of 144mph and 32.5mpg. Only in production from 1998 – 2001, a mere 1,704 were sold worldwide.

Finished in the stunning combination of Green / Black Metallic with Helios Soft Nappa leather upholstery, chassis WDB1290592F176127 was completed to order 0853732976. Notably well-equipped, its specification included: a Panoramic glass hardtop, Black fabric hood, wood / leather steering wheel, wood gear lever / selector gate, headlamp wash / wipe, rear seats, Xenon headlights, heated front seats and folding door mirrors etc. Supplied new via Mercedes-Benz of Hull. ‘T58 PAG’ was returned to them for maintenance eleven times by its original purchaser up to 56,849 miles. Entering the current (second) ownership in 2016, the SL280 was entrusted to Mercedes-Benz of Grimsby for its most recent main dealer service at 58,463 miles (circa 400 miles ago). Drawn to the car because of its condition and history, the seller has been diligent about its upkeep. Garaged throughout his tenure, an accompanying three-page summary documents the attention the Mercedes-Benz has received over the past nine years. Conscious that other commitments have prevented him from using the SL280 as intended the vendor has decided to make it available for a new custodian. Pleasingly retaining its original dealer issued number plates, this pampered and desirable second-facelift R129 is accompanied by a UK V5C Registration Document, book pack (owner’s manual, service record), first aid kit and touch-up sticks. Worthy of close inspection.
