The Mercedes-Benz R129 SL roadsters were produced from 1989 through 2002. The R129 replaced the R107 in 1989 and was in its turn replaced by the R230 SL-Class in 2002 for the 2003 model year.

The R129 was produced as a two-door, two-seat roadster with an automated (electro-hydraulic), collapsible textile roof, with a shell-like, color-matched, tonneau cover. All R129s came standard with an aluminum detachable hardtop that was fitted by folding the canvas roof down and manually attaching the hardtop. Designed in 1984, the R129 was based on the shortened floorpan of the Mercedes-Benz W124 and featured many innovative details for the time, for instance electronically controlled damping (Adaptive Damping System ADS, optional) and a hidden, automatically extending roll-over bar. The R107’s rather dated rear diagonal swing axle gave way to a modern multi-link axle. The number of standard features was high, with electric action for the windows, mirrors, seats and hydraulic convertible top.

This wonderful SL320 was registered to its first of only two owners in March 1995, specified in Dark Blue with a cream leather interior, air-conditioning, electric heated seats, 8-hole alloy wheels and the rear seat option.

Over the years the SL was initially maintained by Mercedes-Benz, and latterly regularly maintained by local independents. The extensive history file contains factory manuals, original plus replacement service books, also a number maintenance bills over the years. The soft-top has been replaced and the car is offered with an additional wind deflector and hard top.

Offered from local long term lady ownership, this modern classic is in super order, showing just over 73,000 miles recorded. Complete with both sets of keys, a recent service and MOT certificate to March of 2025, this is all in all a very stylish modern classic that can be driven every day of the year.
