Highlights

Highly original R129
3.2L I6 powerplant with automatic transmission
Almandine red metallic paintwork with anthracite leather interior

The Appeal

The R129 had an impressive feat on its hands when it hit the market - after all, it was the official replacement for the world-renowned R107. Thankfully, if there was any manufacturer who could pull it off, it was Mercedes-Benz - and the new car managed to eke out a legacy of its own with the same ethics of top-notch build quality and creature comforts.

This example, built in 1993, comes to us in very good order, still carrying its original factory colour combination. This is a solid example that’s ready and waiting for a new owner.
