About this car

This R129 SL320 is a facelift car from 1999 with a recorded 25,000 miles, a very low figure for a 27-year-old Mercedes roadster. The R129 is often seen as the last of the over-engineered era of Mercedes build, and the V6 SL320 is the more affordable way into the range.

It is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with black Nappa leather. Equipment includes a panoramic glass roof, optional rear seats, electric memory seats, xenon headlights with washers, ASR stability control and a wind deflector. The 17-inch Hollander alloys are described as unmarked and the spare wheel is unused.

The car was supplied new in August 1999 by Pentagon Mercedes-Benz of Southampton and has had two owners. Its service history runs from new, with a recent full service by Mercedes-Benz of Eastbourne. The history file holds invoices, old MOTs, the manuals in their leather wallet, both remote keys and the original Funk Card.
