Description
*This car will be at the Kilbroney Vintage Show on Saturday, 20th June, available to view*
This Mercedes-Benz SL320 is a 1998 example of the highly regarded R129 generation & has had just one lady owner from new. Having covered only 45,500 miles, it represents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-preserved example of one of Mercedes-Benz's most iconic grand tourers.
Finished in beautiful red paintwork over a tan leather interior, it presents in truly remarkable condition throughout. The paint retains a deep & consistent finish, while the interior remains virtually untouched, with the leather, carpets, trim & switchgear all presenting in line with the low mileage. The original alloy wheels are also outstanding, further highlighting the care this SL has received throughout its life, & the Michelin tyres have lots of life remaining.
As a late-production R129, it benefits from the final evolution of the model, featuring updated front & rear styling, revised lighting, modernised interior, and refined engineering developments. It's powered by Mercedes-Benz's renowned 3.2-litre naturally aspirated inline-six engine, producing 228 hp & 315 Nm of torque, and a smooth automatic transmission. It offers a refined drive with great performance, exceptional comfort & superb build quality.
It's supplied with its original colour-coded factory hardtop (also immaculate condition) & a stand to store it when it's not in use. Both the electronically operated black soft-top & wind deflector function perfectly. Few convertibles offer this versatility, allowing it to be enjoyed as both an elegant open-top cruiser & a refined grand touring coupe.
A substantial history file documenting its maintenance is present. It was recently serviced by a Mercedes-Benz main dealer, with new rear brake calipers, discs, & pads being fitted just 2 months ago. It requires nothing & is driving exactly as it should.
Finding an R129 SL320 with such low mileage, just one previous lady owner, extensive history & this level of originality has become increasingly difficult. The combination of its superb condition and specification, beautiful colour combination & meticulous maintenance history make this an outstanding example of one of Mercedes-Benz's finest modern classics.
Fully sorted & ready to be enjoyed immediately, this SL320 will be available to view at the Kilbroney Vintage Show on Saturday, 20th June.
