SUMMARY
Finished in a fabulous colour combination, just under 32,000 miles and one owner from new – a standout example of this modern-classic Mercedes-Benz.
DESCRIPTION
- Originally purchased new and shipped to its owner’s second home in Barbados, this R129 SL has led a sheltered life, avoiding harsh English winters, being used sparingly and stored carefully
- Powered by Mercedes' refined M112 3.2-litre, 18-valve SOHC V6 producing 221bhp at 5,600rpm, it delivers smooth, effortless performance
- Finished in striking Cabernet Red with a contrasting cream beige leather interior, the car presents beautifully and exudes timeless elegance
- Showing just under 32,000 miles, it has recently benefited from a comprehensive service, a new battery, four new tyres and an overhaul of its roof mechanism
- Low-mileage, well maintained R129s are becoming increasingly sought after and this example, with its rare specification and excellent condition, offers many more years of enjoyment for its next custodian
