The Appeal


Offered as a replacement to the legendary R107, the R129 was a streamlined, modernised reiteration of what had proven a very successful formula. It was the Mercedes-Benz for the new era, and became enormously popular. Thirty years later, they're still soldiering around the world - proving themselves to be just as solid as their predecessors.

This fine 1994 example boasts the popular livery of Smoke Silver, complimented by a comfortable beige cabin. It boasts a low mileage of 82,026 miles and a comprehensive maintenance history, which is confirmed by the car's clean Carfax report.
