Registration No: R457 AMA
Chassis No: WDB1290632F157006
MOT: May 2027
The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadster, produced from 1989 through 2002, was a two-door, two-seat roadster with automated (electro-hydraulic) collapsible textile roof, and a shell-like colour-matched tonneau cover. All came standard with an aluminium detachable hardtop. Based on the shortened floor pan of the W124 it featured many innovative details for the time, such as electronically controlled damping (Adaptive Damping System ADS, optional) and a hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. The number of standard features was high, including electric windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top. When introduced in 1993, the SL320 variant featured a DOHC in-line six-cylinder petrol engine of 220bhp and remained in production to 2002.
Displaying c.77,000 miles and finished in Brilliant Silver over black leather, this well-presented example comes with panoramic hard top, air diffuser, full size spare wheel, full jacking kit and medical bag. On inspection, the car started, ran and moved quietly and smoothly and the vendor was keen to display how the hard top operated off the button. With 3 owners from new, R457 AMA has been in current ownership for 25 years and dry stored since 2014. Offered with a large history file, invoices, bookpack, Swansea V5c and current MOT to May 2027.
